European Churches and Chinese Temples as Neuro-Theatrical Sites

Beschreibung

"Integrating research across various cognitive science and humanities disciplines, this book explores how traditional designs and spaces of Chinese temples and European churches - as outer theatrical spaces - have left cultural imprints for how our "inner theatres" are staged. Gathering theories and research from theatre, philosophy of mind and emotion, and various cognitive, affective, and social science fields, Brain Spirits applies them to the art, architecture, and history of religious buildings, from Buddhist, Daoist, Confucian, and Imperial temples, to Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant churches and sites important in Judaism and Islam"--
