Mind and Religion : Psychological and Cognitive Foundations of Religion Hardback
Edited by Harvey Whitehouse, Robert N. McCauley
Part of the Cognitive Science of Religion series
Hardback
Description
Recent cognitive approaches to the study of religion have yielded much understanding by focusing on common psychological processes that all humans share.
One leading theory, Harvey WhitehouseOs modes of religiosity theory, demonstrates how two distinct modes of organizing and transmitting religious traditions emerge from different ways of activating universal memory systems.
In Mind and Religion, top scholars from biology to religious studies question, test, evaluate and challenge WhitehouseOs sweeping thesis.
The result is an up-to-date snapshot of the cognitive science of religion field for classes in psychology, anthropology, or history of religion.
