The Psychology of Religious Belief (Classic Reprint)
(Although the psychology of religion is still exceedingly ...)
Although the psychology of religion is still exceedingly young, much valuable work has already been done on several aspects of the religious consciousness, such as conversion, mysticism, certain abnormal phenomena, etc.; but the important question of religious belief, from the psychological point of view, has received but scant attention. To help break ground in tbis rich but rather neglected field is the aim of the present work. It does not concern itself with the nature or the definition of religion, a question that has resulted in so much smoke and so little light, but is limited to the much more modest and concrete problem of the nature of belief in aG od or gods and the basis or bases on which this belief really rests. In order to attain a comprehensive view of this subject, I have not confined myself to psychology, but have made what use I could of the results of anthropology and the history of religion. How far I have succeeded in combining these rather diverse fields, so that they might lend each other mutual assistance in throwing light on our question, must be left to the reader to determine. My aim has been to write for both the technical and the general reader; in fact, respecting many .,l,:. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Views
Finding pragmatism inadequate, his trenchant criticisms turning on its future directedness and the instrumental status accorded by it to reason, and finding idealism less probable than realism, Pratt made common cause with the critical realists. At the end of his 1920 essay, however. Pratt pointed out that inference requires a recognition of ‘the act of transcendence’, which one takes on faith, and it is this which takes one beyond solipsism to a real world. The recognition of transcendence led him. in a course of thought extending from his initial publication on psychology of religion through Matter and Spirit and Personal Realism, into his extended analyses of the religions of India. Initially inspired by the religious writings of William James, and deepened by two sabbatical years spent in India, the books emerging from this endeavour were, as he said, his most extensive, and ‘the undertone of the Upanishads has.. never been long out of hearing’.
