The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature is a book by the Harvard psychologist and philosopher William James that comprises his edited Gifford Lectures on "Natural Theology" delivered at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland between 1901 and 1902. 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. (Summary by Wikipedia) (22 hr 23 min)

Excellent reader

(5 Sterne)

Thank you Librivox! Well-read with just a couple of mispronunciations. I have been wanting to read this book for 29 years and have finally gotten through it. It’s a complex read and doesn’t contain quite as many illuminating points about consciousness as I’d hoped, but well worth listening to Joe D read. My first LibriVox listen, but I will definitely be back for more!

Thanks for making this available as audio!

Perfect

The text itself is a wonderful and extremely worthwhile endeavor, and the narration by JoeD is done as well as anyone could ever ask for. A sincere thanks to JoeD for contributing his time and talents to this text. If you're curious about this book or this particular narration of the book, I assure you both are worth your time and attention.

Really interesting - recommended.
