Rethinking Religion: Connecting Cognition and Culture Paperback - 1993
by E. Thomas Lawson; Robert N. McCauley (Joint Author)
First line
Symbolic-cultural systems are a puzzlement.
From the rear cover
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 theory's central feature is a set of universal principles of religious ritual structure. 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.
