De què tracta
Les conferències Gifford de James, del 1901-1902: un estudi de la conversió, la santedat, el misticisme i l'ànima malalta a partir de testimonis de primera mà.
Context i història
El criteri de selecció és el que fa el llibre. James decideix mirar només l'experiència personal —el que li passa a algú quan està sol— i deixar de banda les institucions, els dogmes i les esglésies; ell mateix admet que és una tria que deixa fora molta cosa. També tria els casos extrems en comptes dels corrents, perquè diu que en el cas extrem el fenomen es veu millor. Ho declara obertament, i per això el llibre es pot discutir sabent exactament què s'hi ha inclòs i què no.
Context editorial, no una font citable: a diferència dels passatges de l'obra, aquestes dades no es poden contrastar amb el corpus.

This book would never have been written had I not been honored with an appointment as Gifford Lecturer on Natural Religion at the University of Edinburgh. In casting about me for subjects of the two courses of ten lectures each for which I thus became responsible, it seemed to me that the first course might well be a descriptive one on “Man’s Religious Appetites,” and the second a metaphysical one on “Their Satisfaction through Philosophy.” But the unexpected growth of the psychological matter as I came to write it out has resulted in the second subject being postponed entirely, and the description of man’s religious constitution now fills the twenty lectures.…
