Rethinking Religion : Connecting Cognition and Culture Hardback
by E. Thomas Lawson, Robert N. McCauley
Hardback
- Information
Description
This book is an ambitious attempt to develop a cognitive approach to religion.
Focusing particularly on ritual action, it borrows analytical methods from linguistics and other cognitive sciences.
The authors, a philosopher of science and a scholar of comparative religion, provide a lucid critical review of established approaches to religion, and make a strong plea for the combination of interpretation and explanation.
Often represented as competitive approaches, they are rather, complementary, equally vital to the study of symbolic systems.
