When it alters in one way the blood that percolates it, we get the Methodist, when in another way, we get the atheist form of mind.</BLOCKQUOTE> These lectures concerned the nature of religion and the neglect of science, in James' view, in the academic study of religion. Soon after its publication, the book found its way into the canon of psychology and philosophy, and has remained in print for over a century. James would go on to develop his philosophy of pragmatism, and there are already many overlapping ideas in Varieties and his 1907 book, Pragmatism. -- Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
