为什么值得读
- 个体神学心理学领域的开创性与经典研究
- 为自然主义世界观提供共情精神经验的路径
- 从神经症到圣徒案例，分析信念转变的内在经验
这是有史以来关于宗教体验最卓越的著作之一。James收集了来自古典宗教文献、报纸文章和临床研究等多方面的生动宗教体验案例，牢牢抓住了读者的注意力。在这本汇集了1901年在苏格兰所作Gifford讲座的文集中，James运用绝妙的例证、深刻的心理学分析和令人难忘的分类学方法，对宗教体验进行了透彻的剖析。

……《计算机程序设计艺术》（TAOCP），我总会意识到“这就是理解 X 阻力最小的捷径”，随后我又感到害怕，因为要学的东西实在太多了，而且想真正把任何东西搞透都非常难。——威廉·詹姆斯的《宗教经验之种种》，送给那些在自然主义世界观下全盘否定灵性体验可能性的人。当今公众视野里的很多无神论，都缺乏对宗教体验的共情。——马丁·加德纳的文章……
…TAOCP, I always realise "this is the path of least resistance to understanding X" & then that scares me, because there is so much to know & it's really hard to understand anything well. -William James The Varieties of Religious Experience For those that deny the possibility of spiritual experience within a naturalistic world view. A lot of atheism that is public today misses empathy with religious experience. -Martin Gardner's articles…
嘿，过了一周了，我想我改天会再试着读读钦定版圣经（KJV）。你开始看《宗教经验之种种》了吗？你觉得我把它推荐给当时那群受众合适吗？
Hey, It's a week later, I think I will give the KJV bible a try again sometime. Have you gotten onto The Varieties of Religious Experience yet? Do you think I was warranted to recommend it to the audience I did?
……我几乎把它们看作是一种可以喂给 parser generator 的文法；我们改变信念，文法就更新了，parser 也随之更新。关于这个话题，我最喜欢的资料来源是威廉·詹姆斯的《宗教经验之种种》。他的研究很大程度上是试图通过分析一端的极端神经官能症患者，以及另一端像（某些）圣人那样的人（他们……），来解释基于信念改变而产生的极其广泛的内在体验。
…I see them almost as like a grammar which could be fed to a parser generator; we change our beliefs, the grammar is updated, the parser is updated. My favorite source on the subject is William James' Varieties of Religious Experience. His project is largely attempting to account for wide ranges of internal experience based on belief changes, by analyzing extreme neurotics on one end and people like (certain) saints on the other (who…

I’m sure more experienced scholars will have more up-to-date recommendations, but William James ‘Varieties of Religious Experience’ is a classic.

……想成为圣人……维特根斯坦的兄弟姐妹们清楚他的批评者显然不知道的事：他其实是在提及……他最喜欢的书之一——威廉·詹姆斯《宗教经验之种种》里的一个心头好主题。”《宗教经验之种种》是一位大师级思想家的优秀读物，读它绝对能搞明白 W. 到底想表达什么。没错，它可一点都不‘接地气/日常’。
…interested in becoming a saint ... Wittgenstein’s siblings knew what his detractors apparently did not: that he was referringl ... to a favourite theme from one of his favourite books: William James’s Varieties of Religious Experience." VRE is a decent read by a great mind, and reading it can only illuminate what W. was getting at. And yes, it's far from the 'everyday'.
