Can scientists study religion? Ilkka Pyysi inen says that they can.
While the study of religion cannot be reduced to other disciplines,
it must not ignore what other disciplines have learned about human
thought and behavior. In this collection of essays, Pyysi inen
shows how findings from cognitive science can offer new directions
to debates in religion. After providing a historical and
theoretical overview of the cognitive science of religion, Pyysi
inen demonstrates how knowledge of the mind's workings can help
deconstruct such concepts as "god," "ideology," "culture," "magic,"
"miracles," and "religion." For scholars of religion or for
scholars of the mind-brain, Magic, Miracles, and Religion provides
a helpful overview to this emerging field.
