Sumario:Starting from the work of Charles Taylor, we deal with the repercussions of naturalism in the works of William James. First, we present Taylor’s notion of naturalism (ethical-moral), to which he opposes his hermeneutic theory. Next, we deal with the Jamesian concept of religious experience and discuss its main characteristics pointed out by Taylor. Then, we present Taylor’s criticisms of this concept and discuss in what sense James would have espoused some of the theses of ethical-moral naturalism.
