Culture and the Cognitive Science of Religion is the first book to
bring together cultural psychology and the cognitive science of
religion (CSR). Containing much-needed discussion of how good
research should do more than simply follow methodological
prescriptions, this thought-provoking and original book outlines
the ways in which CSR can be used to study everyday religious
belief without sacrificing psychological science. Cresswell's
pragmatist approach expands CSR in a radically new direction. The
author shows how language and culture can be integrated within CSR
in order to achieve an alternative ontogenetic and phylogenetic
approach to cognition, and argues that a view of cognition that is
not based on modularity, but on the dynamic connection between an
organism and its milieu, can lead to a view of evolution that makes
much more room for the constitutive role of culture in cognition.
As a provocative attempt to persuade researchers to engage with
religious communities more directly, the book should be essential
reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate students, as
well as psychologists interested in the cognitive science of
religion, theological anthropology, religious studies and cultural
anthropology.
