Book ID/图书代码： 12686009B33999
English Summary/英文概要： Neuroscience, Psychology, and Religion will be the second title published in the new Templeton Science and Religion Series. In this volume, Malcolm Jeeves and Warren S. Brown provide an overview of the relationship between neuroscience, psychology, and religion that is academically sophisticated, yet accessible to the general reader.
The authors introduce key terms; thoroughly chart the histories of both neuroscience and psychology, with a particular focus on how these disciplines have interfaced religion through the ages; and explore contemporary approaches to both fields, reviewing how current science/religion controversies are playing out today.
Throughout, they cover issues like consciousness, morality, concepts of the soul, and theories of mind. Their examination of topics like brain imaging research, evolutionary psychology, and primate studies show how recent advances in these areas can blend harmoniously with religious belief, since they offer much to our understanding of humanity’s place in the world.
Jeeves and Brown conclude their comprehensive and inclusive survey by providing an interdisciplinary model for shaping the ongoing dialogue. Sure to be of interest to both academics and curious intellectuals, Neuroscience, Psychology, and Religion addresses important age-old questions and demonstrates how modern scientific techniques can provide a much more nuanced range of potential answers to those questions.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 用前顯的文字，為您揭開三者學科間的互相關聯及激盪 本書將針對神經學、心理學與宗教學這三種學術間，互相牽連的關係進行一次綜述。從學術角度看來，或許稍顯複雜，但令人意外的是，這本書絕對淺顯易懂。
兩位作者馬爾科姆 吉夫斯以及沃倫 布朗向讀者介紹了該領域的眾多關鍵術語；詳細描述神經及心理學各自的發展歷程，並著重於此兩門科學在發展過程中與宗教產生的交集與聯動；同時深入剖析現今科學與宗教兩大流派之間的分歧、以及各自的發展後的趨勢。
本書全圍繞著意識、道德、靈魂定義、思維的詮釋等議題。而作者對於如人腦成像、進化心理學以及靈長類物種的研究更是有力地表明，這些學術領域的最新發展，完全可以與古老的宗教信仰彼此共存，因為無論哪一方，都旨在幫助我們增進對人之所以存在於現今世上之意義的探索和理解。
對於這樣爭論已久的議題，《神經學、心理學與宗教學》無疑是一本重要的辨析著作。此外，這本書也另外解釋當代科學技術，在對上述問題進行探索的過程當中，又能發揮什麼重要的功用。(AW & SK)
