Metanoia ...

... William James, part 4: The psychology of conversion. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

... James examines what he takes to be the most valuable material: the best articulated and most profound records of conversion. For him, to do otherwise would be like declaring you were going to study music by excluding the work of Bach in favour of nursery rhymes, on the grounds that more people sing Three blind mice than the St Matthew Passion.
