This volume consists of 12 essays published by the author between
the years 1997-2007, a thirteenth paper read at a conference in
2006, and a long introduction prepared specifically for the
collection. All of the essays deal with epistemological issues
attendant on conceptualizing and defining religion, understanding
what is likely to be involved in studying and discussing beliefs,
and attempting to explain religion and religions by drawing on the
contemporary cognitive and evolutionary sciences. The problem of
how best to understand and represent the cultural sensitivities of
others is addressed by considering the works of three predecessors,
Edward Burnett Tylor, Lucien Levy-Bruhl, and A. Irving Hallowell.
