The relationship between English and German ways of doing philosophy of religion
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
From time to time one comes across pronouncements about the difference between English and German philosophy of religion. Such statements often sound plausible enough, but in my experience they will not stand up to any very close inspection. Let me, anyway, take an example of a general pronouncement regarding the relationship between German and English philosophy, a pronouncement which the author applies particularly to philosophy of religion. In The Varieties of Religious Experience, William James states:
The Continental schools of philosophy have too often overlooked the fact that man's thinking is organically connected with his conduct.
