Synopsis

Excerpt from Instinct and Reason: An Essay Concerning the Relation of Instinct to Reason, With Some Special Study, of the Nature of Religion

It has long 1 seemed to me evident that activities which are so universal in man as are those which express our religious life, cannot fail to be of significance In relation to our biological development, especially as these activities have persisted for so many ages in the human race. I have, therefore, attempted to outline a theory which will account for the existence of religious activities, and which will explain their biological import.
