This is a reminder for:
Title: John WIlkins
My present research is in the arena of naturalistic accounts of religion in
terms of evolved capacities and behaviours, and the philosophical
implications that follow from them. One example, set by Plantinga, is
whether evolutionary theory itself suffers from a tu quoque if evolution
can be seen as debunking religion by making it a natural property. I am
also considering the kinds of biological inferences that constrain
speculation about naturalistic accounts of religion, such as the use of
phylogenetic inference to overcome some of the shortfalls of sociobiology
and evolutionary psychology.
The nature of deities themselves as "super-stimulus" human-style agents,
proposed by several anthropologists and comparative psychologists, is also
interesting. The role of gods in religion is multifaceted, and may involve
both psychological and political considerations, such as social psychology
and dominance behaviours.
