William James View Of Christianity

To look at the unseen from William James point of view is believed to be a course of unrealistic events, which is true to many extents however he tries to lean towards the rationalism point of view. The Christian point of view on the unseen is more of a spiritual sense of the “unseen” it is appeared as a unforeseen world, for example there “unseen” is a view of the spiritual world ,thus they are referring to as God he is known of a majority of there religion have never foreseen him or witnessed him physically.

Both Christianity and Stoics religions have set differences and similarities that may or may not standout to others but they simply have the same differences. They both have the idea of the “unseen” in there own views yet similar views, both spiritual and mental states of
