Guy Bennett-Hunter has been awarded an eight-months Postdoctoral Fellowship at IASH. He is currently engaged in a research project on the influence of Pragmatist thought on the philosophy of the late T. L. S. Sprigge which draws out the implications of this influence for contemporary philosophy of religion. It focusses on Sprigge's appropriation of what Sidney Hook has called Pragmatism's 'tragic sense of life'. That is the view, held by William James and others, that the quest for religious truth is inseparable from religion's psychological and practical role in helping human beings come to terms with life's 'tragic' dimension and, despite this dimension, to see life as worth living.
