2021 Carl G. Hempel Lectures: "The Invention of Religion." - Day 3

"Identities Evolving"
Abstract: In the final lecture, we'll look at two kinds of
explanation of features of religious life in the work of contemporary
evolutionary theorists, which pay attention to some of the features of
religions noticed by these founding fathers of the modern social sciences of
religion. We'll consider whether a concept of religion is needed in these
explanations, and also turn, at the end, to the question whether religions have
anything essential in common.
