My department has just opened a call for a professor in Philosophy (area of philosophical expertise pretty much open).

William James is right in that religious experiences are simply human experiences: “Religious happiness is happiness. Religious trance is trance.”

Thomas Nagel thinks most people use reason to create a unified world view.
