Should psychology try to explain religion or try to understand it?
Pioneers in psychology like Sigmund Freud and William James took
opposing views on the matter, and it has been a hotly debated issue
ever since. While psychology has been used in the past to attack
religion, recent psychological findings have been more sympathetic
to matters of faith. How should we understand their relationship
today?
In "Psychology and Religion," Michael Argyle, one of the world's
most famous experimental psychologists, provides a comprehensive
and accessible survey of what psychologists know about
religion--and what they don't. Offering fascinating and surprising
insights into people and their religious worlds, Argyle examines
the results of psychology's study of religion--including those of
his own important experiments--and explores a wide range of topics
such as: the importance of religion in the works of Freud, Jung and
James; the proven effects of religion on the behavior of
individuals and groups; how psychologists study religious
activities like prayer, worship and ritual; and how psychologists
have revealed the significance of change in religion, particularly
in understanding the impact of new religious movements.
