Barrett, Cognitive Science, Religion, and Theology, 27. Barrett finds this term a little problematic, as an appliance such as a light fixture is hardwired (rigid in place and power source) or not, like a lamp (movable and “unplugable”). “For those of us who think that we think through our brain (or more strongly, that our brain thinks), it is a little odd to say that some cognition is part of our brain circuitry whereas other cognition is not: it is all part of our electrical system. So, the emphasis added by hard-wired just means degree of rigidity, automaticity, or invariance. But this is an issue of degree whereas to be hard-wired (in electrical systems) is a discreet concept—either hard-wired or not.”

Alvin Goldman, “Theory of Mind,” in The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Cognitive Science, eds. Eric Margolis, Richard Samuels, and Stephen Stich (New York: Oxford University Press, 2012), 402. While theory of mind researchers are in essential agreement as to the definition of theory of mind, they do have competing theories regarding the way in which mentalizing is accomplished. Goldman (403–409) outlines the three theories. The “theory-theory,” in which intuitive theory of behavior is refined over time with experience and cognitive maturation; the “modularity nativist theory,” in which innate understandings need cognitive maturation; and the “rationalist teleological theory,” in which we calculate events, developing rational expectations based on our perceived evaluation of others’ situations.

“Neuromania” claims to provide a neurologically based answer for everything; it is marked by the use of cognitive science research but often makes sensational claims or is implicitly affected by Cartesian dualism.

They’ve been long separated because of post-modernism and modernism. But now graduate students are grumbling in emails and in conference hallways about being locked out of the job market unless they perpetuate postmodernist gobbledygook, and how they’re eager for new ideas from the sciences that could invigorate the humanities within universities, which are, by anyone’s account, in trouble. Also connoisseurs and appreciators of art are getting sick of the umpteenth exhibit on the female body featuring mangled body parts, or ironic allusions to commercial culture that are supposed to shake people out of their bourgeois complacency but that are really no more insightful than an ad parody in Mad magazine or on Saturday Night Live.” Edge.org. “A Biological Understanding of Human Nature: A Talk with Steven Pinker.” Accessed March 14, 2017. www.edge.org/3rd_culture/pinker_blank/pinker_blank_print.html.

Lawson and McCauley, as do others, require here that religious actions have some relationship to a superhuman agent. Not all scholars share this view. Lawson and McCauley acknowledge this and write that if it is the case that a religious action can be done without a relationship to a superhuman agent, then their model is no longer a model applicable to all rituals, but applicable to all rituals that have a relationship to a superhuman agent. Previously, they used the term “culturally-posited superhuman agent,” but they have changed this to a “counter-intuitive superhuman agent,” or superhuman agent.

Uro, “Gnostic Rituals,” 127–128. The Valentinians, for example, appeared to have some success because of ritual innovation that provides imagistic rituals such as the participation in the “mirrored bridal chamber,” which reflects a celestial bridal chamber. Moreover, it seems that the Valentinians may have introduced what Irenaeus and Tertullian refer to as magic tricks into the liturgy to increase arousal.
