« تجربه دینی از منظر جیمز »

Pragmatism is, most importantly, an “approach” that evaluates theories or beliefs in terms of the success of their practical application. So it emphasizes on resorting to experience, whether in the sense of ‘process’ or in the sense of “product”. Form this viewpoint, the concept of experience in James’ pragmatic thought finds a special significance so that the whole of his thought can be referred to it as well as be understood upon it. Such a point is also true in regard to his view of ‘religion’. James seeks to explore religion within human life, actions and experiences, so he has used the expression “religious experience”. For the sense meant by James has not stated clearly, the present writing attempts to elucidate it in different relations and aspects.
