How might we transform a folk category - in this case religion -
into a analytical category suitable for cross-cultural research? In
this volume, the author addresses that question. He critically
explores various approaches to the problem of conceptualizing
religion, particularly with respect to certain disciplinary
interests of anthropologists. He argues that the concept of family
resemblances, as that concept has been refined and extended in
prototype theory in the contemporary cognitive sciences, is the
most plausible analytical strategy for resolving the central
problem of the book. In the solution proposed, religion is
conceptualized as an affair of "more or less" rather than a matter
of "yes or no," and no sharp line is drawn between religion and
non-religion.
