Recenzii

A series of earnest and frank reflections by scholars, established within [cognitive science of religion], who write passionately about their hopes for the future of the field they have helped to build.
Key questions raised in the papers ... collectively form a rich dialogue about the past, present and future of CSR ... [An] exemplary collection.
Martin and Wiebe have put together an extraordinary collection of essays on the past, present, and future of the Cognitive Science of Religion. The result is a volume that is a must-have for anyone interested in the scientific study of the religious mind.
This volume offers a presentation of the field of the cognitive science of religion by some of its founders and finest experts and demonstrates that it has grown into a diverse and dynamically developing research paradigm.
It is fascinating to read the insights of scholars as they take stock of thisyouthful discipline, and consider its possible future directions. Luther Martinand Donald Wiebe have compiled a stimulating appraisal of many differentaspects of research in the cognitive science of religion, with thoughtfulreflections from both established and new practitioners in the field.
The cognitive science of religion (CSR) is based on the uncontroversial idea that scholars should strive to make their theories consistent. Though most humanities scholars believe in the life sciences, systematic efforts to integrate the life sciences with the cultural study of religion began only recently, through the rise of the CSR. Beyond simply summarising progress, this collection articulates the bold intellectual vision motivating this vibrant interdisciplinary field. For anyone who wants to understand how the scientific study of religion and the cultural study of religion have become mutually dependent, this book makes for essential reading.
It provides an interesting and informative range of perspectives on a movement that has reached something of a watershed in its development. The perspectives offered are scholarly, honest and critical, often probing deeply.
