"Cognitive Science, Religion, and Theology is the eighth title published in the Templeton Science and Religion Series, in which scientists from a wide range of fields distill their experience and knowledge into brief tours of their respective specialties. In this volume, well-known cognitive scientist Justin L. Barrett offers an accessible overview of this interdisciplinary field, reviews key findings in this area, and discusses the implications of these findings for religious thought and practice. Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of minds and mental activity, and as such, it addresses a fundamental feature of what it is to be human. Further, in so far as religious traditions concern ideas and beliefs about the nature of humans, the nature of the world, and the nature of the divine, cognitive science can contribute both directly and indirectly to these theological concerns. Barrett shows how direct contributions come from the growing area called cognitive science of religion (CSR), which investigates how human cognitive systems inform and constrain religious thought, experience, and expression. CSR attempts to provide answers to questions such as: Why it is that humans tend to be religious? And why are certain ideas (e.g. the possibility of an afterlife) so cross-culturally recurrent? Barrett also covers the indirect implications that cognitive science has for theology, such as human similarities and differences with the animal world, freedom and determinism, and the relationship between minds and bodies. Cognitive Science, Religion, and Theology critically reviews the research on these fascinating questions and discusses the many implications that arise from them. In addition, this short volume also offers suggestions for future research, making it ideal not only for those looking for an overview of the field thus far, but also for those seeking a glimpse of where the field might be going in the future"--Provided by publisher.

De auteur doet verslag van zijn levensbeschouwelijke ontwikkeling: het gaat van autobiografie naar mensbeeld, naar maatschappijopvatting, om uit te komen bij de wiskundige verbeelding. Dit verslag is ook een onderzoek: is de opvatting, dat er een plan afkomstig uit een hogere werkelijkheid aan alles ten grondslag ligt, noodzakelijk om het leven in alle facetten te begrijpen?

Peut-on se passer de religion ? Dieu existe-t-il ? Les athées sont-ils condamnés à vivre sans spiritualité ? Autant de questions décisives en plein "choc des civilisations" et "retour du religieux". André Comte-Sponville y répond avec la clarté et l'allégresse d'un grand philosophe mais aussi d'un "honnête homme", loin des ressentiments et des haines cristallisés par certains. Pour lui, la spiritualité est trop fondamentale pour qu'on l'abandonne aux intégristes de tous bords. De même que la laïcité est trop précieuse pour être confisquée par les anti-religieux les plus frénétiques. Aussi est-il urgent de retrouver une spiritualité sans Dieu, sans dogmes, sans Eglise, qui nous prémunisse autant du fanatisme que du nihilisme. André Comte-Sponville pense que le XXIe siècle sera spirituel et laïque ou ne sera pas. Il nous explique comment. Passionnant

Recent books by, among others, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens have thrust atheism firmly into the popular, media, and academic spotlight. This so-called New Atheism is arguably the most striking development in western socio-religious culture of the past decade or more. As such, it has spurred fertile (and often heated) discussions both within, and between, a diverse range of disciplines. Yet atheism, and the New Atheism, are by no means co-extensive. Interesting though it indeed is, the New Atheism is a single, historically and culturally specific manifestation of positive atheism (the that there is/are no God/s), which is itself but one form of a far deeper, broader, and more significant global phenomenon. The Oxford Handbook of Atheism is a pioneering edited volume, exploring atheism - understood in the broad sense of "an absence of belief in the existence of a God or gods" - in all the richness and diversity of its historical and contemporary expressions. Bringing together an international team of established and emerging scholars, it probes the varied manifestations and implications of unbelief from an array of disciplinary perspectives (philosophy, history, sociology, anthropology, demography, psychology, natural sciences, gender and sexuality studies, literary criticism, film studies, musicology) and in a range of global contexts (Western Europe, North America, post-communist Europe, the Islamic world, Japan, India). Both surveying and synthesizing previous work, and presenting the major fruits of innovative recent research, the handbook is set to be a landmark text for the study of atheism.
