What are the psychological and cultural mechanisms responsible for
the prevalence of religious beliefs? Are human beings naturally
predisposed to believe in the supernatural agency? Is it possible
to explain various forms of religion with reference to the
universal structures of human mind? These are the most fundamental
questions addressed in this book. The main purpose of the book is
to provide a sound evolutionary and cognitive account of the
origins of religious phenomena, based on the diversified body of
psychological and anthropological data. Classical approaches to
religion in social sciences are presented, analyzed and criticized.
Furthermore, a new branch of theorizing developing at the
intersection of natural and social sciences, inspired by the recent
developments in biology, evolutionary psychology and cognitive
anthropology is introduced and employed to analyze various
religious phenomena, including religious beliefs and rituals.
Finally, further perspectives of the evolutionary and cognitive
approach to culture are put forward.
