This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Psychological Study of Religion Its Origin, Function, and Future In April, 1896, there appeared in the American Journal of Psychology my doctor's thesis, Studies in the Psychology of Religious Phenomena, a study of Christian conversion. Since then I have continued to devote what time I could to psychological investigations of religious life, and from time to time I have published in various periodicals provisional fragments belonging to different parts of the somewhat systematic scheme I have in mind. A list of these papers will be found on page 361. In this volume I have endeavored to deal with the topics announced in the subtitle, as scientifically as their nature permits. Light comes to the problems of origins from three sources: the present customs and beliefs of the most primitive peoples known to us; the behavior and ideas of children; and the teachings of general psychology. I trust that my information in these several provinces has been on the whole sufficient to keep me on the right road. For data I have had to depend upon the work of students of anthropology, sociology, and psychology, and upon documents I have gathered myself, at first hand, either by questionnaires or by private correspondence. The explanations of religion which the psychologist and the sociologist can give leave unanswered, of course, the question of ultimate origin. But science does not come up against impassable limits any sooner when it occupies itself with religious experience than when it takes as its object any other phase of psychic life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious Consciousness: A Psychological Study I have also sought to cover the field with a fair degree of adequacy; to do justice by both religion and science; to hold the scales even between the individual and society (no easy matter in these days); and to make my book of value and (if possible) of interest to both the general reader and the technical student. I am, of course, painfully aware of the fact that in many ways I have fallen short of my aims. It is now over twelve years ago that I began writing the book; and in that length of time so many changes come over one's evaluations and one's style that in looking through the completed volume I can plainly see (though I hope the reader will not) several distinct strata of thought and language superimposed upon each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Religion Arises: A Psychological Study Yet how few do their own thinking! Millions hire it done to suit their taste but in doing so they sell their birthright, and forfeit what they might be. What I want is not in struction, but provocation, said Emerson. 'what any mind wants is suggestion, frequent stirring up. Clear thinking is of all importance; yet how little of it is done! From ab sence Of this, what worlds of confusion! And confusion is the evil of evils. Religion, the commonest, is almost the least clear of our ideas. What everybody knows nobody knows. What is more an every-day affair? Yet who can define it? We all talk about Christianity much of the time; yet what is Christianity? One runs a mortal risk of dethroning a man's faith by the confusion one puts him to in asking him to define it. One principal reason of so little faith is so little effort on the part of the faithless to express what they have. Better try and mistake than not try at all. Bacon was wise when he said, Truth emerges sooner from mistake than confusion. Then another class seem to abound in faith, but analysis shows it to be only credulity. It has its basis on nothing firmer than unreasoned and unreasonable authority. It is of the sort described by the boy in Sunday-school, who, on being asked what faith was, replied, It is being perfectly sure of a thing when you have nothing to back it up.

Download or read book The Foundations of Religion Classic Reprint written by Stanley A. Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundations of Religion This little book is based upon the application of psycho logy and psychological methods to the comparative and historical study of religions and religious material. No writer on the subject of Religion can avoid what to every reader will be sins of commission and sins of omission. He can only write as the subject presents itself to him at the time, with the recognition that a less imperfect knowledge and a greater attention to the work of others would have increased whatever value his own work may have. Moreover, in his desire to em phasize certain points that seem to him essential, he is doubtless ignoring or dealing too inadequately with points that to others may seem more essential. This little book aims merely at introducing the reader to certain fundamental aspects of the vast subject of Religion; it does not concern itself with the value of any particular religion, or with what may be called the Foundations of Theology. It seeks to deal with the subject quite generally, though, it is hoped, in a way that may interest and stimulate.

Download or read book Printing and Publishing Chinese Religion and Philosophy in the Dutch Republic 1595 1700 written by Trude Dijkstra and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses how Chinese religion and philosophy were represented in printed works produced in the Dutch Republic between 1595 and 1700. By focusing on books, newspapers, learned journals, and pamphlets, Trude Dijkstra sheds new light on the cultural encounter between China and western Europe in the early modern period. Form, content, and material-technical aspects of different media in Dutch and French are analysed, providing novel insights into the ways in which readers could take note of Chinese religion and philosophy. This study thereby demonstrates that there was no singular image of China and its religion and philosophy, but rather a varied array of notions on the subject.
Download or read book Religion Its Functions in Human Life written by Knight Dunlap and published by . This book was released on 1946 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the purpose of this book to present religion as a normal product of man's conscious processes: his desires, his fears, and especially his planning for future contingencies. In order to understand the role a religion may or may not play in the civilization of the future, it is necessary to understand the roles that the religions of the past, from which religions of the present day have developed, have played in the cultures of which they were integral parts. Only through the study of these roles is it possible to discover what religion really is. This historical or genetic method is only one part of the full comparative method that is essential for a complete study of religion. The other part of the comparative method is the comparison of religions that exist contemporaneously and which have little, if any, genetic relation to one another. The religions of civilized peoples can be understood by tracing them back to their foundations in religions of ancient cultures from which our civilization developed. This genetic method at least gives a primary understanding of the nature and functions of religion, which suffices for the purpose of this volume; the religions of civilized peoples having borrowed little from either the religions of present-day savages or those of semicivilized peoples, the full comparative method is not essential for our purposes. That the psychological problems of religion are primarily problems for group psychology and that the problems of personal religion are secondary in importance should be evident from the principle that is now generally accepted by scholars in the field of the history of religion. This principle, which is explained and illustrated in the text, is that faith develops from ritual, rather than ritual from faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion and the New Psychology: A Psycho-Analytic Study of Religion None of the works on this subject, with the exception of Pfister's, and that but fugitively and briefly, deals with religious problems. This book aims to be a comprehensive treatment of the religious problem in its various phases, the varied phenomena of religion, and various nor mal and abnormal religious types, together with certain suggestions for a new and different kind of education, from the Viewpoint of the new psychology. Readers of William James' Va rieties of Religious Experience will already be familiar with mysticism, the phenomena of re ligious conversion, and kindred movements and phenomena of the religious life. These things are not new, but recent exploration of the Un conscious as a determinant of behavior and a potent factor in every thought and act Of daily life, has added considerably to our knowledge of the buried self, and thrown much new light upon the problem of the motivation of human life, even as the hand of the archeologist reveals the structures of a city long-buried beneath vol canic ashes and lava.

Download or read book Psychology Religion and the Nature of the Soul written by Graham Richards and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neither a book about the psychology of spirituality nor America’s ongoing turf wars between religion and science, Psychology, Religion, and the Nature of the Soul takes to task many of the presumed relationships between the two—from sharing common concerns to diametrically hostile opposites—to analyze the myriad functions religion and psychology play in our understanding of the human life and mind. Graham Richards takes the historical and philosophical long view in these rigorous and readable essays, which trace three long-running and potentially outmoded threads: that psychology and religion are irrelevant to each other, that they are complementary and should collaborate, and that one will eventually replace the other. He references a stunning variety of texts (from Freud and Allport to Karen Armstrong and Paul Tillich) reflecting the evolution of these ideas over the decades, to emphasize both the complexity of the issues and the enduring lack of easy answers. The eloquence of the writing and passionate objectivity of the argument will interest readers on all sides of the debate as the author examines: the religious origins of psychology, the original dichotomy: mythos versus logos, the authenticity of religious experience, Religion and personality, the problematic role of prayer and Religion in the history of psychotherapy. For those making a serious study of the history of psychology, Psychology, Religion, and the Nature of the Soul will inspire a fresh wave of critical discussion and inquiry.
