The author shows how language and culture can be integrated within CSR in order to achieve an alternative ontogenetic and phylogenetic approach to cognition, and argues that a view of cognition that is not based on modularity, but on the dynamic connection between an organism and its milieu, can lead to a view of evolution that makes much more room for the constitutive role of culture in cognition. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs a provocative attempt to persuade researchers to engage with religious communities more directly\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003ethe\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ebook should be essential reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate students, as well as psychologists interested in the cognitive science of religion, theological anthropology, religious studies and cultural anthropology. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46931253264535,"sku":"9781138219397","price":13345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138219397.webp?v=1771611998","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/culture-and-the-cognitive-science-of-religion-9781138219397","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
