Explaining Religion: The Nature of Religious Thought
6.99 €
Where does the desire to believe in higher powers come from? How do religious beliefs arise and why does faith continue to play such an important role in the life of the twentieth century? The book of the French anthropologist Pascal Boillier describes the phenomenon of religion from the standpoint of evolutionary psychology. The background of beliefs and religious rites the scientist finds in the principles of human consciousness. One by one, he refutes the common “theories” of the origin of religion—it arose to explain incomprehensible natural phenomena and personal experiences, it comforts, it ensures social order—and reveals to the reader the amazing features of the workings of our minds.
