Читать книгу The Animal at Unease with Itself - Isaac M. Alderman - Страница 12

From my survey of some of the major concerns of cognitive science, as well as its use in the humanities, religion, and biblical studies, I hope that the reader recognizes the importance of cognition in the process of telling, writing, and reading stories. In varying degrees, biblical scholarship today requires that one be an archaeologist, historian, linguist, anthropologist, and literary critic. Increasingly, I suggest that cognitive science needs to be a part of this discussion as well. Not only the events of history and the workings of a society, but also the way in which religious thoughts, texts, events, and concepts are cognitively processed have increasingly become useful tools in understanding the biblical text.
