    de Max Harwood, Gil Hizi, Michael Jackson, Muhammad Kavesh, Gisella Orsini, Nigel Rapport, Kathryn Rountree, Banu Senay, Jaap Timmer ...
    Many of us feel a pressing desire to be different—to be other than who we are.

Often, we wish to alter ourselves, to change our relationships, and to transform the person we are in those relationships. Not only a philosophical question about how other people ... Leer más

However, denying emotion altogether doesn't necessarily lead to better research. Methods cannot function independently from the personalities wielding them, and it's time we questioned the tendency to underplay the scientific, personal, and political ... Leer más

  • What Is Religion?

    Debating the Academic Study of Religion

    Edición de Aaron W. Hughes, Russell T. McCutcheon ...
    Controversies over how to define the word "religion" have persisted for decades.

"Religion" is as much a fuzzy set of conceptualizations and generalizations about a range of human activities as it is an authorizing system of persons, ... Leer más
