The Experience Project

The Experience Project.

From project description: “Religious and spiritual experiences (RSEs) have long been a lively topic of inquiry for philosophers of religion, theologians, and scholars in religious studies. This project aims to make significant progress on key Big Questions concerning RSEs. One innovation of this project is its salient focus on the transformative powers of RSEs, a hitherto underexplored aspect of many RSEs. This focus will take the form of supporting research on transformative RSEs themselves, but also on transformative experiences more generally, with the hope that investigation of transformative experiences more generally might shed insight on transformative RSEs in particular. Research on the transformative powers of RSEs will occur in tandem with research on other of their aspects.”
