Recenzii

"An excellent collection of papers in American philosophy of religion. Containing the classic contributions of the transcendentalists and the original pragmatists, Clanton also includes less familiar, yet equally fascinating, pieces by figures from Royce, Santayana, Alain Locke, Jane Addams, and others. This book provides an ideal guide to the treatments of religion by leading American philosophers." --Chris Hookway, Professor of Philosophy, University of Sheffield
"Clanton's focus is on those texts, which engage the religious-philosophical tension, pragmatically considered. This book is eminently teachable, for both Clanton's Introduction and his selections." --John McDermott, University Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Humanities, Texas A&M University
"There has long been a need for a text like this. Clanton introduces readers to several trajectories and usefully tracks thinkers often ignored in this American philosophical tradition." --Douglas Anderson, Professor of Philosophy, Southern Illinois University Carbondale
Classical American Pragmatists and Religion is a very good introduction to the classical American pragmatists' views on religion. -- Dwayne A. Tunstall, Grand Valley State University -- Journal of the American Academy of Religion
