Cline’s third characteristic of religion is the rituals focused on sacred objects, places, and times. Evolutionary theory makes no claims whether or not…

IST, Science, and Beliefs Dennett now proceeds to place IST within cognitive science. He believes that IST could lead to some unification amongst the sciences, due to its ability to properly sort a number of thorny philosophical issues (such as if the system really has beliefs). By example, he notes how intentional systems regard beliefs. IST states that beliefs serve no purpose unless those beliefs are mostly true. A system containing many false beliefs fails to even be conceivable. An…
