Ritual: Meaningful or meaningless?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2007
Abstract:
In conflating opposing meanings of the term ritual, arising from historical Western cultural conflicts regarding church and state, this target article begs fundamental questions. Its appeals to cognitive science concepts such as working memory are poorly informed and obfuscate what could have been a far more penetrating and less biased discussion of stereotyped human action.
