 | Essays in Radical Empiricism by Ellen K. Suckiel, John T. McDermott, Ralph B. Perry, William James, Exams Unlimited, Inc. Staff
Essays in Radical Empiricism shows William James concerned with ultimate reality and moving toward a metaphysical system. The twelve essays originally appeared in journals between 1904 and 1906. James himself collected them to illustrate what he called radical empiricism , but this volume was not published until 1912, two years after his death. Included are such seminal essays as Does Consciousness Exist? and A World of Pure Experience . The distinguished scholar and biographer Ralph Barton Perry, who edited this volume, called the essays essential to an understanding of James writings. Radical empiricism takes us into a world of pure experience . In the essays as introducer Ellen Kappy Suckiel notes, James inquires into the metaphysically basic reality underlying the common-sense objects of our world. It is here that he defends his view that `experience` is the sole and ultimate reality . The essays deal with the applications of this pure or neutral experience the general problem of relations, the role of feeling in experience, the nature of truth. AUTHOR: Ellen K. Suckiel, John T.

 | Religious Studies by Walter H. Capps
Since its inception almost 200 years ago, the study of religion has informed, enlightened, provoked, and challenged our notions of humanity`s deepest beliefs and longings. Now Walter Capps, nationally recognized for the quality and depth of his teaching, has written the first full-scale introduction to the history and methods of religious studies. To assess the many points of view in this mature but diffuse discipline. Capps uses the idea that four basic of fundamental questions and three enduring interests have given formal structure to the study of religion: the essence of religion; the origin of religion, descriptions of religion; the function of religion, the language of religion, comparisons of religion and, the future of religious studies. In this way Capps relates the chief insights and theories of philosophy, anthropology, phenomenology, sociology, and theology of religion, and spotlights theorists from Immanuel Kant to Mircea Eliade. His valuable text unites in a single narrative and conceptual framework the major methodological proposals for the academic study of religion; treats all the major theorists in their respective disciplines, schools of thought, and intellectual movements; treats the whole discipline as a dynamic and evolving tradition. Religious Studies constitutes not only an erudite introduction to the field, exhibiting vast scholarship and careful assessment, but also a bold synthetic proposal for its future. AUTHOR: Walter H. Capps
