| Popis | Chapter develops an evolutionary account of religious behaviour. Starting point is a familiar observation about the costliness of religious commitment, in terms of time, resources, risks, and opportunities lost. If natural selection favours efficiency, then why is such behaviour not eliminated? Their suggestion is that religious practices are permitted and even encouraged by natural selection because they coordinate and facilitate cooperation. |
