Religions, Values, and Peak-experiences

Abraham Harold Maslow

Ohio State University Press, 1964 - Experience (Religion). - 123 pages

"One of the most foremost spokesmen for the Third Force movement in psychology, Abraham H. Maslow, here articulates one of his prominent theses: the "religious" experience is a rightful subject for scientific investigation and speculation and, conversely, the "scientific community" will see its work enhanced by acknowledging and studying the species-wide need for spiritual expression which, in so many forms, is at the heart of "peak experiences" reached by healthy, full functioning persons." -- back cover.
