Uniting Thomas Lawson's essays on the cognitive science of
religion, this volume explores theoretical issues in the study of
cultural phenomena such as religion, the role of imagination, and
the experiments that emerge from these theories. The book begins
with Lawson's influential essay “Towards a Cognitive Science of
Religion,” which was the first to employ the phrase, and has
since become widely adopted in many different disciplines. It
signals to scholars in the humanities that the cognitive revolution
has finally reached them and serves to introduce them to the world
of science. The rest of the book focuses on theoretical issues in
the study of cultural phenomena and describes experiments by
scholars working on the connections between cognition and culture.
Described as "the grandfather of the cognitive science of
religion," Lawson offers a unique perspective on the development of
the field and the principles that underlie it, which will be
relevant to both newcomers and established scholars.
