Recenzii
Their [Yaden and Newberg] sensible and sensitive work should sit comfortably on the shelf next to James's.
The most important book on the science of religion in my lifetime.
If you have the slightest curiosity about the spiritual dimensions of life and death, and if you value an approach that explores the outer reaches of mystical experience, yet never pretends to know what we don't yet know, this is the book for you.
This comprehensive and much needed book covers the latest science of psychedelics, spirituality, and altered states of consciousness in general. You will learn about the most cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience on these mental states while reading personal stories from people who have been fundamentally transformed by their visits to some of the most fascinating depths of human experience. I highly recommend this groundbreaking book!
What David Yaden and Andrew Newberg have done through their painstaking research is to provide the world with a 21st Century James. Like James, they are respectful of their subjects' experiences and careful not to pronounce judgments on the psychological and numinous worlds they inhabit. This book will become a classic.
In the scientific project of demystifying mysticism, Yaden and Newberg are the undisputed heirs to the legendary research of William James. The authors deftly plumb the caverns of neuroscience, psychology, pharmacology, philosophy, and religious studies to usher the nebulous world of spiritual experience into the spotlight of 21st-century academic discourse. An encyclopedic feat that transcends disciplinary boundaries, and sets the stage for a bold new era of inquiry.
This scholarly update of William James' seminal book, Varieties of Religious Experience, will be of great value to those interested in investigating the causes and enduring effects of sacred and secular spiritual experiences through a scientific lens.
David Yaden and Andrew Newberg have produced a book that will bring you wonder, inspiration, and awe. It is for our 21st century what William James's Varieties book was for the 20th century: a comprehensive, open minded, rigorous exploration of human spiritual life
In this interdisciplinary study written for a general audience, the authors' declared aim is "to carry forward James's insights and fill in some of the empirical gaps of his speculations with decades of scientific work on spiritual experiences".
David Bryce Yaden and Andrew B. Newberg bring the field squarely into the modern day with The Varieties of Spiritual Experience: 21st Century Research and Perspectives...this book will offer you a deep well of thought and research to further your study and future questions that will hopefully lead to another book like this before the next century.
The authors present a rich variety of perspectives from psychology and religious studies, and they draw from multiple culture... They enlighten our understanding of James at the same time as they update it, placing his work in the context of current psychological and neuroscientific research. In doing this with a highly accessible book, they have done us all a great favor.
David B. Yaden and Andrew B. Newberg's The Varieties of Spiritual Experience: 21st Century Research and Perspectives engages thoughtfully with this science-and-spirituality nexus, considering the processes and psychological outcomes associated with an array of inner phenomena grouped under the umbrella of the "spiritual." The book reflects on the decades-long project of neurotheology in which Newberg was a founding figure, and takes up James's speculations about a science of religion with simultaneous modesty and ambition.
The title summarizes the ambitious goal of the book: establishing a foundational work for the twenty-first-century study of spiritual experiences...the book would be a perfect read for scholars from psychology and neuroscience and for scholars and graduate students from medicine, religious studies, philosophy, pharmacology, anthropology, and psychiatry.
David B Yaden and Andrew B Newberg have written a seminal book that will be of high interest to mental health clinicians and researchers, pastoral counselors and caregivers, clergy, theologians, and philosophers.
The Varieties of Spiritual Experience is a broad entree into contemporary research on spiritual experience and is a good go-to,...It would fit well in an undergraduate/graduate religious studies course as well as in a theory and methods class.
The book is a fascinating tribute to one of the founding figures of the psychology of religion and an appeal to link it to contemporary scientific research.
