A Cognitive Theory of Magic - Cognitive Science of Religion
Jesper Sørensen
Presents a theory of magical actions based on an array of findings in the cognitive sciences. This book argues that focusing on the underlying cognitive processes not only explains why magical rituals look the way they do, it also supplies insights into the role of magic in the formation of institutionalised religion.
