Excerpt from A Psychological Study of Religion Its Origin, Function, and Future
In this volume I have endeavored to deal with the topics announced in the subtitle, as scientifically as their nature permits. Light comes to the problems of origins from three sources: the present customs and beliefs of the most primitive peoples known to us; the behavior and ideas of children; and the teachings of general psychology. I trust that my information in these several provinces has been on the whole sufficient to keep me on the right road. For data I have had to depend upon the work of students of anthropology, sociology, and psychology, and upon documents I have gathered myself, at first hand, either by questionnaires or by private correspondence.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins, function, and future of religion by examining its psychological aspects. It challenges the idea that religion is merely an intellectual or emotional experience, arguing instead that it represents a unique type of practical behaviorâ"one that engages with unseen personal beings. The author traces the origins of magic and religion to the fundamental human need to make use of all available powers in the struggle for survival. While magic and religion have independent origins, they have often been closely associated, with religion evolving over time to emphasize social and benevolent values. The book also explores the relationship between morality, mythology, and psychology in religion, and discusses the latest forms and future of religion in the context of present-day society. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of religion as a vital and ever-evolving aspect of human experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
