The History of the Psychology of Religion
Abstract
We may assume that man from very early times was able to reflect in some way upon his own awareness of life, but there is no record of these reflections until quite late in human history. For our purpose we propose to see how certain men in the later periods of Western thought approached the subject of human consciousness, selecting only those views which eventually resolved themselves into the psychology of religion.
