Ritual and Religion in the Making of Humanity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that religion can and must be reconciled with science. It is both a comprehensive analysis of religion's evolutionary significance and a detailed study of religion's main component, ritual, which constructs the conceptions which we take to be religious and therefore central in the making of humanity's adaptation.
