Ritual, Extended Mind, and Overimitation: Towards a Naturalistic Cognitive Theory of Ritual Transmission

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper will concentrate on cognitive theories of ritual and models of its transmission in the cultural evolutionary framework. It will be argued that this type of theorizing is important for explaining historical mutations of rituals in particular populations. The prevalent orientation in the so called standard model of the cognitive science of religion on mental representations of ritual instead of on ritual behavior itself will be discussed and criticized with reference to recent development in the cognitive sciences. Then, it will be argued for the usefulness of the theory of overimitation for modeling ritual transmission in a cultural evolutionary perspective with a final illustration of the complementarity of this theory with approaches characterizing cognition as embodied and extended.
