Mystical Mind : Probing The Biology Of Religious Experience

$29.00

This pathbreaking work by two leading medical researchers explores the neurophysiology of religious experience. Building on an explanation of the basic structure of the brain, the authors focus on parts most relevant to human experience, emotion, cognition. On this basis, they plot how the brain is involved in mystical experiences. Succesive chapters apply this schene to mythmaking, ritual and liturgy, meditation, near-death experiences, and theology itself. Anchored in such research, the authors also sketch the implications of their work for philosophy, science, theology, and the future of religion.
