Abstract

The article examines one of the emerging directions in contemporary religious studies — the study of religion through the lens of the latest advancements in cognitive sciences. It highlights the significance of recent discoveries in evolutionary psychology and neurobiology and their impact on redefining the subject and object of religious studies, contributing to paradigm shifts within the field. The article explores key theories in cognitive religious studies, including P. Boyer's theory of minimally counterintuitive concepts, E.T. Lawson and R. McCauley's ritual form theory, H. Whitehouse's modes of religiosity theory, and J. Barrett's hypothesis of the hypersensitive agency detection device (HADD).
