Description

Mental Culture bridges classical social theory with contemporary cognitive science to explore why religion remains a universal human phenomenon across all known societies. This interdisciplinary volume gathers leading scholars from anthropology, history, psychology, philosophy, and religious studies to examine the origins and diversity of religious belief and practice throughout human history and culture. By connecting foundational theoretical frameworks with cutting-edge cognitive approaches to religion, the book provides students and academics with comprehensive insights into how the human mind generates, sustains, and transmits religious ideas and behaviours. Whether you study the sociology of faith, the psychology of belief, or the comparative history of religions, Mental Culture offers essential perspectives on one of humanity's most enduring cultural phenomena.

Key Features

Mental Culture integrates classical social theory with cognitive science of religion to explain universal patterns of human religiosity.

The book features contributions from international scholars specialising in anthropology, history, psychology, philosophy, and religious studies.

This volume connects established theoretical approaches with newly developed cognitive frameworks for understanding religious behaviour and belief systems.

Mental Culture serves as a comprehensive reference for students and researchers examining the origins and persistence of religion across human societies.

The interdisciplinary approach combines historical analysis with modern cognitive science to address fundamental questions about faith and cultural practice.
