Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins, function, and future of religion by examining its psychological aspects. It challenges the idea that religion is merely an intellectual or emotional experience, arguing instead that it represents a unique type of practical behaviorâ"one that engages with unseen personal beings. The author traces the origins of magic and religion to the fundamental human need to make use of all available powers in the struggle for survival. While magic and religion have independent origins, they have often been closely associated, with religion evolving over time to emphasize social and benevolent values. The book also explores the relationship between morality, mythology, and psychology in religion, and discusses the latest forms and future of religion in the context of present-day society. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of religion as a vital and ever-evolving aspect of human experience.
