Religião, cognição e as ciências do cérebro: uma introdução

Ciência Cognitiva, neurociência, psicologia da religião, antropologia da religião, Ciência da ReligiãoResumo
Embora a percepção popular comumente apresente um conflito intratável entre “Religião” e “Ciência”, o estudo acadêmico contemporâneo do fenômeno religioso vem mostrando como sua interseção pode ser positiva, unindo disciplinas das Ciências Humanas, Sociais e Naturais na tentativa de fornecer o relato mais completo possível, não somente na descrição de comportamentos e crenças religiosas, mas para o porquê do cérebro humano operar do modo como o faz. Porém, valer-se de pesquisas científicas para elucidar a cognição religiosa é apenas parte desse cenário, uma vez que tal forma de percepção também pode esclarecer o que foge à Ciência em suas suposições laboratoriais. Na construção de uma relação experimental, abre-se, assim, um fascinante espaço para o entendimento de como os humanos se desenvolveram e qual seu potencial para posteriores transformações.
