Emotion, Identity, and Religion

Hope, Reciprocity, and Otherness

Beschreibung

Religions manage human emotions by coupling them with core cultural values, and particular religious traditions favour a distinctive pattern or syndrome of emotions and values. Douglas J. Davies uses insights from anthropology-sociology, cognitive science, and psychology, to explore the dynamics of emotional life that forge our human identity.
