Description
This book presents a groundbreaking cognitive perspective on divination practices, examining how the human mind processes and interprets divination as a meaningful system for understanding the world. Ze Hong analyzes the psychological mechanisms underlying various divination traditions, including tarot, astrology, and oracle systems across different cultures.
The author explores why people find divination compelling despite its lack of empirical validation, investigating cognitive biases, pattern recognition, and the human need for meaning-making. By integrating psychology of religion with cognitive science, the book demonstrates how divination functions as a tool for decision-making, self-reflection, and coping with uncertainty.
Part of the Elements in the Psychology of Religion series, this work bridges academic psychology and spiritual practice, offering insights valuable to researchers, practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding the cognitive foundations of religious and spiritual experiences.
