Peirce -- Reconstructing faith : religious overcoming in Dewey's pragmatism -- Transforming obligation in William James -- Dwelling in absence: the reflective origin of conversion -- Creative transformation : the work of conversion -- The evasion of conversion in recent American philosophy. 330 8 $aThis fresh, provocative account of the American philosophical tradition explores the work of key thinkers through an innovative and counterintuitive lens: religious conversion. From Jonathan Edwards to Cornel West, the text threads the history of American thought into an extended, multivalent encounter with the religious experience. Looking at John Dewey, William James, Charles Sanders Peirce, Richard Rorty, Robert S. Corrington, and other thinkers, the work demonstrates that religious themes have deeply influenced the development of American philosophy. This innovative reading of the American philosophical tradition will be welcomed not only by philosophers, but also by historians and other students of America's religious, intellectual, and cultural legacy. 410 0$aAmerican philosophy series ;$vNumber 13. 606 $aPhilosophy, American$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhilosophy, American$xHistory. 676 $a204/.2/01 676 $a204.201 700 $aWard$b Roger A$01074589 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524889503321 996 $aConversion in American philosophy$92578679 997 $aUNINA
