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.

Although panic attacks subside within a few minutes, in most cases, regardless of the activities of the individual, ongoing operant behavior such as flight may be adventitiously reinforced by the remov

Abstract:

The “correct” performance of death and burial rituals is a highly contested field in Central Asia today. Scripturalist or other reform-minded Muslims, as well as governments, each for their own reasons, often harshly criticise their co-religionists’ death-related practices for being unlawful, superstitious and wasteful. For many Central Asians, lamentations, mourning and commemoration ceremonies have an emblematic value. Even if people do not observe all of the traditions over the one year mourning period, or are not familiar with the symbolism and meaning of single rituals, they know that the

The Iraqi civilization in the pre-Islamic eras inherited the beliefs and concepts of the ‎ancient Sumerian, Babylonian and Assyrian civilizations that preceded it, as it was taken ‎from the unseen thought - in magic, envy and sorcery - that was prevalent in the Arabian ‎Peninsula, until the community of modern Iraqi civilization became ideological, stemming ‎from An ancient civilization, and its neighboring civilizations. ‎ ‎The ancient Iraqis believed in envy, and they tried to remove that fear and anxiety from ‎it, because of their belief in the destructive effect on them, especially the pre

Abstract:

Often in everyday life we have to deal with various signs and superstitions that are quite tenacious, despite their incompatibility with Orthodoxy. Superstitions usually refer to the stories of the water spirit, bogie, puck, mermaids, healers, sorcerers, etc., as well as various supernatural creatures and inexplicable phenomena. Various charms, amulets, nauzes, etc. can also be attributed to superstition, as all of the above is an attribute of witchcraft. These phenomena arose, most likely due to a lack of enlightenment, education and Orthodox culture. Superstitions come to life in the usual p

This paper attempts to reexamine the notion of superstition in a concrete historical period: from the moment it first appeared in the early Hellenistic period (and named deisidemony, deisidaimonίa) till the Early Roman Empire, when this original meaning started to change radically. As will be shown below, the main characteristics of this unique concept of superstition were exaggerated fear and magical or ritual practices used to avert the supposed evil foreshown by a bad omen.

AbstractThe diversity of cultures and traditions in Indonesia gives rise to religious rituals (Islam) that synergize with Shari'a. It is very ironic if these deeds carried out by Muslims in Indonesia are accused as superstitious, bid'ah, and khurafat acts, since they are not in accordance with the Qur'an and Sunnah. This condition has caused a reaction from one of traditionalists namely Hasyim Asy'ari who was very concerned in preserving local traditions which were considered has Shari'a touch.

Abstract:

This article discusses the use of superstition and religious rituals within sport. While the popular view among skeptics seems to be that religious ritual is nothing more than superstition, I argue that while there admittedly are many similarities, there also exist major differences which separate superstition and religious ritual into distinct entities. The realm of sport is one widely known for the numerous exhibitions of both superstition and religious ritual. The examples of sport-related superstition and religious ritual are so numerous that they have even gained noted media attention in

It is also worth noting that such activity can potentially produce mood-enhancing effects by promoting neurogenesis and neuronal adaptability. Intriguingly, certain individual psychological traits such as rituals, compulsions, obsessional thinking, and superstitious beliefs, as well as inflexibility in daily routines, appear to serve a purpose in competitive athletic endeavors.ObjectivesThe aim of

The 1980s saw a wave of African films that aimed to represent, on both local and international screens, a sophisticated pre-colonial Africa, representing ancient myths and traditions while simultaneously debunking notions of the continent as primitive. Toward this aim the films inscribed the conventions of oral performance within their visual styles, denying spectator identification with the protagonists and emphasising the presence of the narrator. However, some critics argued that these films exoticised Africa, while their use of oral performance’s distancing effect echoed the ‘scientific’ d
