Por que a crença religiosa persiste na cultura? O conceito de epidemiologia de representação de Dan Sperber
Keywords:
Dan Sperber, epidemiologia de representação, ciências cognitivas da religião.Abstract
Este texto tem por objetivo apresentar o problema teórico que a crença religiosa suscita em uma perspectiva evolutiva. A crença religiosa aparentemente não possui nenhum vestígio de ser um produto adaptativo da evolução humana, no entanto ela é fortemente aderente e pervasiva tanto individual quanto culturalmente. Para dissolver esse problema, a crença religiosa será abordada a partir das ciências cognitivas da religião, em especial sob o foco epidemiológico de Dan Sperber. Como resultado, ela será considerada como um subproduto de outros módulos cognitivos, adquirindo, assim, um caráter peculiar de crença reflexiva.
