From Communal Meals to Religion: Networking Social and Cognitive in Agent-based Simulation

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Scientific study of religion is characterized by various analytic reductions, usually focusing either on social or psychological dimension of the phenomenon. To avoid this bias, we are adopting the method of agent-based modelling of generative social science and consider religion as an emergent macro-phenomenon, being a product of dynamical interactions of micro-constitutions (beliefs, practices, artefacts and human agents). In other words, we treat religion as an instance of configuration of aspects from both psychological and social dimension in particular social situation. To demonstrate fruitfulness of this approach, we introduce a computational simulation of early Christian meals. Because a set of beliefs or an exclusive adherence to a group alone are inadequate indicators of religion in antiquity, the situational setting of communal meals appears to be a promising point of departure.
