Psychology of religion - Sigmund Freud: Oedipus complex illusion.
Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) gave explanations of the genesis of religion in his various writings. In Totem and Taboo, he applied the idea of the Oedipus complex (involving unresolved sexual feelings of, for example, a son toward his mother and hostility toward his father) and postulated its emergence in the primordial stage of human development.
In Moses and Monotheism, Freud reconstructed biblical history in accord with his ge ...

| | | | psychology of religion: Encyclopedia II - Religious studies - Intellectual foundation and background Before religious studies became a field in its own right, several key intellectual figures explored religion from a variety of perspectives. One of these figures was the famous pragmatist William James. His 1902 Gifford lectures and book The Varieties of Religious Experience examined religion from a psychological-philosophical perspective and is still influential today. His essay The Will to Believe defends the rationality of faith.
Max Weber studied religion from an economic perspective in The Protestant Ethic and th ...

There are several different perspectives on how "benefit" (or "interest") should be defined.

| | | | psychology of religion: Encyclopedia II - Dwarfs Discworld - Biology and psychology Dwarfs are shorter and wider than humans, nearly always bearded, and live to about 300. Despite this, the dividing line between dwarfs and humans seems a bit blurred, and Pratchett has hinted that humans and dwarfs can interbreed. Dwarfs see their dwarfishness as a matter of culture, rather than genetics or height. Hence, Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson is accepted as a dwarf, despite being a six-foot human.
As Tolkien implied of his dwarves, Discworld dwarfs of both sexes have beards. However, while Tolkien stated that female dwarves ...

Later, during the Middle Ages, Islamic scholars studied Persian, Jewish, Christian, and Indian belief and practice. The first history of religion was the Treatise on the Religious and Philosophical Sects (1127 CE), written by the Muslim scholar Muhammad al-Shahrastani. Peter the Venerable, also working in the twelfth century, studied Islam and made possible a Latin translation of ...
