It promotes the perspective of 'integrated' social science, in which social science questions are addressed in a deliberately eclectic manner, combining results and models from evolutionary biology, experimental...

A watershed book that masterfully integrates insights from evolutionary biology, genetics, psychology, economics, and more to explore the development and workings of human societies "There is no good reason why human societies should not be described and explained with the same precision and success as the rest of nature." Thus argues evolutionary psychologist Pascal Boyer in this uniquely innovative book. Integrating recent insights from evol...

Innovations in catheterization techniques and embolization agents have considerably contributed to the development of endovascular occlusion techniques in arterial and venous trunks as much as distal parenchymal capillar beds. Mini invasive therapies, endovascular embolization and chemo-embolization now constitute valuable therapeutic alternatives in various fields: on a purely palliative or on a curative basis in oncology,   but also in traum...

Eine herausragende Entwicklung im Dialog zwischen Biologie und Theologie besteht in der Erforschung der kognitiven und evolutionären Grundlagen der Religion. Wachsendes Interesse gilt gegenwärtig der positiven Funktion der Religion im Zusammenhang der Evolution und der Ausbildung menschlicher Kultur. Hat die Religion Bedeutung für evolutionäre Anpassungsprozesse? Gibt es eine biologische oder evolutionäre Basis für den religiösen Glauben und d...

Tradition as Truth and Communication deals particularly with oral communication and focuses on the privileged role of licensed speakers and the ritual contexts in which certain aspects of tradition are characteristically transmitted.

Do they have features in common and why does religion persist in the face of science? Pascal Boyer shows how experimental findings in cognitive science, evolutionary biology and cultural anthropology are now providing precise answers to these general questions, and providing, for the first time, real answers to the question: Why do we believe?

Warum der Mensch sich seinen Gott und seine Götter erdenken muß, erläutert Pascal Boyer in einer glänzenden Studie, die einen Bogen von der Hirnforschung über die Neurobiologie zur Sprachforschung, Psychologie, Evolutionsforschung bis hin zu den Religionswissenschaften schlägt. Gott und Götter ermöglichen die Sinngebung des oft scheinbar Sinnlosen. Das menschliche Vertrauen darauf spiegelt sich in der Bedeutung, wie unverzichtbar die sozialen...
