Dr. David PeñaGuzmán, Philosophy professor and cohost of the Overthink podcast, discusses psychologist and philosopher William James and his account of religious conversion from his book The Varieties of Religious Experience. In the third video in our new series of video lectures on mind, consciousness, and self, David outlines how James theorizes the nature of religious conversion and how he categorizes conversions into two kinds: conversions by surrender and conversions by volition. How do these two forms of religious conversions shape our realities differently, and how might they help explain the split between religion and philosophy?
