- W3201502394 abstract "Hypotheses proposed from an evolutionary perspective partly explain why every universal religion, including secular substitutes, encompasses so-called magical and superstitious elements. Aspects described as “magical” are performances which are believed to cause immanent effects, although their mode of operation cannot be analyzed outside the framework of religious convictions. The differentiation between beliefs of high standing and popular, trivial beliefs cannot be applied to indigenous, pre-axial religions. The latter ones, as well as prehistoric religions, are integral parts of the symbol system which provided existential meaning and practical support in various ways: magical, mythological, narrative etc. Early evolutionary stages of religion probably had a simpler structure on all levels but were equally holistic and autopoietic. Human ethics evolved together with religion by successive co-adaptations. Ethic norms are always connected with religion, but in different ways. The hypothesis that belief in morally concerned, supernatural agents evolved to facilitate cooperation in large-scale societies occasions theoretical problems. The distinctions between natural and supernatural retribution, and between offences against the gods and against society, are difficult to maintain outside the framework of modern, secular thought. Alternative hypotheses are tentatively proposed." @default.
