How you understand . . . can only be shown by how you live": Putnam's Reconsideration of Dewey's Common Faith -- A Brief History of Theosemiotic: From Scotus through Peirce and Beyond -- "Man's highest developments are social": The Individual and the Social in Peirce's Philosophy of Religion -- The Dissenting Voice of Charles Peirce: Individuality, Community, and Transfiguration -- Religious Experience and Its Interpretation: Reflections on James and Royce -- Avoiding the Dichotomy of " either the individual or the collectivity": Josiah Royce on Community, and on James's Concept of Religion -- Pragmatic or Pragmatist/Pragmaticist Philosophy of Religion? -- Theory of Religion in a Pragmatic Philosophical Theology -- Acknowledgments -- Contributors -- Index of Names -- Subject Index
Summary: The Varieties of Transcendence traces American pragmatist thought on religion and its relevance for theorizing religion today. The volume establishes pragmatist concepts of religious individualization as powerful alternatives to the more common secularization discourse. In stressing the importance of Josiah Royce's work, it emphasizes religious individualism's compatibility with community. At the same time, by covering all of the major classical pragmatist theories of religion, it shows their kinship and common focus on the interrelation between the challenges of contingency and the semiotic significance of transcendence.
