faculty assistant
David Lamberth joined the HDS faculty in 1997 after
teaching at Florida State University. He also served a three-year appointment as
associate dean for academic affairs at HDS from 2000 to 2003. His courses in theology and the philosophy of religion emphasize modern liberal thought and probe the interconnections between theological and philosophical reflection. They also span both continental and American materials, paying particular attention to the distinctiveness of American contributions in these fields, as well as to the interactions of thought and culture. His first book,
William James and the Metaphysics of Experience, exhibits his interest in the revival of pragmatism, and pursues in particular the inherent engagement with religion in James's philosophical system, as well as James's pluralism. He is currently preparing a book entitled
Religion: A Pragmatic Approach, which analyzes both historical and
contemporary treatments of religion in the pragmatic tradition. Other
research interests include religious experience, and the construction of the
field of the philosophy of religion. Professor Lamberth was recently elected
vice president of the William James Society, and will serve as president in
2008.
