Abstract

This article highlights several of the valuable contributions in Religion Evolving by Benjamin Purzycki and Richard Sosis (2022) and offers some material and methodological reflections that are intended to complement their efforts. Their book offers a clear and useful operationalization of religion, emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to the phenomena in question, and makes great strides in overcoming the polarizing debate between proponents of the “by-product” and “adaptationist” camps in the cognitive and evolutionary science of religion. The bulk of the current article argues for the importance of building on their efforts by also attending to the conditions under which – and the mechanisms by which – religion can become “maladaptive” in contemporary contexts.
宗教将?
本文重点介绍了Benjamin Purzycki和Richard Sosis(2022)在《宗教演变》中的一些有价值的贡献,并提供了一些材料和方法上的反思,以补充他们的努力。他们的书为宗教提供了一个清晰而有用的操作化,强调了跨学科方法对问题现象的重要性,并在克服宗教认知和进化科学中“副产品”和“适应主义”阵营的支持者之间的两极分化辩论方面取得了重大进展。当前这篇文章的大部分论述了在他们的努力的基础上,关注宗教在当代环境中“不适应”的条件和机制的重要性。
