Religion explained : the evolutionary origins of religious thought /Pascal Boyer. , New York, : Basic Books ©2001. vii, 375 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm. 1570 What is the origin? What supernatural concepts are like The kind of mind it takes Why gods and spirits? Why do gods and spirits matter? Why is religion about death? Why rituals? Why doctrines, exclusion and violence? Why belief? Many of us have endless questions about faith, spirituality, and the place of religious thinking in the world. But one central question - perhaps the central question - about religion has remained strangely inaccessible: Why do we have it at all? Until recently, if you'd asked this of most anthropologists, they'd have told you that the question was ill-formulated and too vague to be of scientific interest." "In fact, the intellectual tools for thinking about the problem simply didn't exist. Now, says Pascal Boyer, they do, provided by theories and research in evolutionary biology and cognitive psychology."--Jacket Biologische aspecten Entstehung Religion Pascal Boyer BOOK 59735 59735 0 0 ddc 0 0 SNUL SNUL 2022-11-03 Technical Bureau 1570.00 1 3 200 BOY 28943 2023-04-27 00:00:00 2022-12-01 2022-11-03 BOOK
