| Resumo: | Based on William James's idea that the most instructive documents humains are found 'along the beaten highway,' this paper revisits the life of Pablo Ávila (the author's father-in-law) using Donald Capps's relocation of Erik Erikson's life stages. The essay connects Pablo Ávila's religious and drinking experience to Bill W., the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, and through him, to William James, particularly to James's references to alcohol in The Varieties and his response to different forms of anti-alcohol activism. The paper argues that studying individual experience can engender human creativity and offer insights for more effective pastoral caregiving. |
