Abstract:
In his critique of religion, Hume envisages forms of religious ritual disconnected from the superstitious “neurotic” mindset; he considers simple rituals fostering moderation. In this paper, I claim that one can profitably interpret Hume’s obsession with secular rituals, such as French highly ceremonial manners, in the sense of anxiety-soothing institutions that bind citizenry without the appeal to a civil religion, properly speaking. Let us call this path the Old Regime’s civil ritualism”. Overall, Tocqueville conceives rituals in a Humean spirit, as existential anxiety-soothing institutions.

The basis of all the philosophies of Periyar, the father of the Self-Respect movement, is self-awareness. Such self-respect is an essential quality for mankind, but the obstacles to this feeling are, in Periyar’s view, lack of self-confidence and greed. Both of these are barriers to the sense of self. The folk songs of Thanthai Periyar are unique. Self-respect and power are also seen among the rural masses, such as in rituals, songs, marriages, astrology, etc. There are various kinds of superstitious songs among women, such as widow marriage, pregnancy, son, daughter-in-law, kaathu karuppu (ba

Humans are, by design, imperfect experimentalists. The cost of testing each step of a process exceeds the benefit of knowing which steps can be eliminated. To an outsider who knows which steps are superfluous, the actors appear superstitious, even ridiculous. Nonetheless, the exact duplication of all steps is rational for the imperfect experimentalist. The case of ritual in autism illustrates this point.

Some brands seem to garner uncommon levels of loyalty from their customers. These brands can weather economic downturns, long-term competitive disadvantage and continual performance failures to emerge with a core of dedicated, committed, and loyal consumers. Good examples of this phenomenon come from sports. Some sports teams have fans who proudly proclaim their loyalty as well as financially support their team through attendance, yet live their entire life without witnessing their team win a championship.

These laws go beyond the scientific explanation of physical contact and propose magical causes and cures for diseases.
