Advancing our understanding of one of the most influential
20th-century philosophers, Robert Vinten brings together an
international line up of scholars to consider the relevance of
Ludwig Wittgenstein’s ideas to the cognitive science of religion.
Wittgenstein's claims ranged from the rejection of the idea that
psychology is a 'young science' in comparison to physics to
challenges to scientistic and intellectualist accounts of religion
in the work of past anthropologists. Chapters explore whether these
remarks about psychology and religion undermine the frameworks and
practices of cognitive scientists of religion. Employing
philosophical tools as well as drawing on case studies,
contributions not only illuminate psychological experiments,
anthropological observations and neurophysiological research
relevant to understanding religious phenomena, they allow cognitive
scientists to either heed or clarify their position in relation to
Wittgenstein’s objections. By developing and responding to his
criticisms, Wittgenstein and the Cognitive Science of Religion
offers novel perspectives on his philosophy in relation to
religion, human nature, and the mind.
