The Return of the Prodigal Son : Cognitive Science of Religion and the Re-Emergence of the Problem of Explanation in the Study of Religion
Original language description
(1) Theoretical interest in the phenomenon of religion throughout the western intellectual tradition may be divided into two distinct and mutually exclusive paradigms: Naturalistic paradigm explains religious phenomena by reducing them to their non-religious cause(s); protectionist paradigm aims at a description, interpretation and, ultimately, understanding of religious phenomena, explicitly denying the possibility of their reductive explanation. (2) From a historical perspective, naturalistic paradigmemerges as early as presocratic philosophy; rudiments of the protectionist paradigm are formulated in early Christian literature. (3) While founding figures of modern study of religion in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century adopted both naturalistic and protectionist stance, widespread adoption of phenomenology as the preferred method in the study of religion thwarted explanatory approaches in the field for the most part of the twentieth century.
