foi, croyance, science de la croyance, science cognitiveRésumé
Les recherches cognitives de la religion tentent d’expliquer les croyances religieuses. Toutefois, de nombreux anthropologues, psychologues et philosophes critiquent les concepts de la "foi" ou de la "croyance" comme tels. Les principales critiques consistent à dire que la "croyance" ne peut être observée, étant donné qu'elle est inexistante, et que le terme même n'est qu'une construction occidentale non applicable ailleurs. Ces critiques en arrivent à rendre naïve et fausse la "science de la croyance". S’appuyant sur la science cognitive et le fonctionnalisme philosophique qui en est le fondement, je proposerai une définition minimale de la croyance qui permette à la science respective de résister à ces critiques.
