So, my monograph on James's philosophy of religion is nearing completion. I argue that radical empiricism is at the heart of his many religious topics. I need help with the title. WJ, Pluralism, and the Religious Multiverse is the current title. I don't like it. Suggestions?

Happy William James Day, friends.

The great pragmatist philosopher and father of American psychology was born on this day in 1842. Midway through a re-reading of The Varieties of Religious Experience, I will also spend some time with his letters today.
