Abstract

The Gifford Lectures were established in 1885 at the universities of St Andrews, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh to promote the discussion of 'Natural Theology in the widest sense of the term - in other words, the knowledge of God', and some of the world's most influential thinkers have delivered them. The 1901-2 lectures given in Edinburgh by American philosopher William James (1842-1910) are considered by many to be the greatest in the series. The lectures were published in book form in 1902 and have been reprinted many times. James, who was educated in the United States and Europe, and spent much of his career teaching philosophy at Harvard, was very influential in the development of modern psychology, and in these twenty lectures he explores the personal experience of religion. Some of the topics include religion and neurology, 'the sick soul', saintliness, and mysticism.

Abstract

Ce livre constitue la proposition d'une philosophie des sciences des religions. Cela doit s'entendre en deux sens. D'abord au sens d'une épistémologie des sciences des religions : quels sont les problèmes de méthode, de définition des concepts scientifiques qui se posent spécifiquement pour l'étude des religions, dans les différents champs disciplinaires ? Ensuite, au sens d'une philosophie de la religion : comment le développement des sciences des religions influe-t-il sur les théories philosophiques de la religion ? Ces deux aspects indissociables sont traités dans un dialogue interdisciplinaire. Philosophes, historiens, sociologues, théologiens ou encore spécialistes de sciences cognitives dialoguent et confrontent leurs conceptions de l'expérience religieuse, pour introduire aux différentes approches de la religion par l'expérience. Il s'agit de faire émerger des problèmes transversaux : comment aborder scientifiquement l'expérience religieuse sans en perdre l'épaisseur propre ? Peut-on rendre compte de l'expérience religieuse sans la justifier ou la réduire ? Au centre de la recherche du livre est développée l'idée que la religion, comme objet de sciences empiriques, oblige à une réflexion philosophique approfondie sur l'idée même d'approche empirique, c'est-à-dire sur le concept d'expérience.

Abstract

Neuropsychedelia examines the revival of psychedelic science since the "Decade of the Brain." After the breakdown of this previously prospering area of psychopharmacology, and in the wake of clashes between counterculture and establishment in the late 1960's, a new generation of hallucinogen researchers used the hype around the neurosciences in the 1990's to bring psychedelics back into the mainstream of science and society. This book is based on anthropological fieldwork and philosophical reflections on life and work in two laboratories that have played key roles in this development: a human lab in Switzerland and an animal lab in California. It sheds light on the central transnational axis of the resurgence connecting American psychedelic culture with the home country of LSD. In the borderland of science and religion, Neuropsychedelia explores the tensions between the use of hallucinogens to model psychoses and to evoke spiritual experiences in laboratory settings. Its protagonists, including the anthropologist himself, struggle to find a place for the mystical under conditions of late-modern materialism.
