| Popis | The Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR) is an academic discipline which studies the mental capacities and processes that underlie recurrent patterns of religious thought and behavior. The main focus of CSR is on unconscious thought. Unlike the related field of the Psychology of Religion, whose primary level of analysis is the individual, CSR is primarily interested in accounting for cultural forms and why these particular forms are more widespread than others. As all subdisciplines pertaining to the Cognitive Sciences, CSR is interdisciplinary, employing theoretical perspectives and methodological tools from such fields as religious studies; cultural and cognitive anthropology; cognitive, developmental, and evolutionary psychology; philosophy; neuroscience; biology; behavioral ecology; and others. |
