About this title

Synopsis

The Religious Sentiment: Its Source And Aim : A Contribution To The Science And Philosophy Of Religion by Daniel Garrison Brinton. This study offers an inductive, psychology-based account of the religious sentiment, arguing that religion arises from a complex interplay of sensation, emotion, and thought governed by the laws of mind. Brinton distinguishes between the Science of Religion, the Philosophy of Religion, and Theology, and outlines three fundamental laws of thought—Determination, Limitation, and Excluded Middle—and their bearing on religious belief. The work surveys the emotional elements (fear, hope, love) and their roles as drivers of worship, the rational postulates that underlie religious thought (order in the world, intelligibility, unity of mind), and the processes by which myths, rites, symbols, and rituals express and transmit religious ideas. It traces the evolution of myths and cults, analyzes symbol and idea, and discusses how religion has historically moved from individual desires to social and ethical forms, while anticipating future development toward truth-seeking and ethical life.
