Description
Where does the urge to believe in higher powers come from? How do religious ideas arise—and why does faith continue to play such an important role in the life of a person in the 21st century? This book by the French anthropologist Pascal Boyer describes religion as a phenomenon from the perspective of evolutionary psychology. The scientist finds the underlying logic of beliefs and religious rituals in the principles of how human consciousness works. Step by step, he refutes common “theories” about the origins of religion: that it emerged to explain incomprehensible natural phenomena and personal experiences, that it comforts, that it ensures social order—and reveals to the reader the surprising features of the structure of our mind.
