The Religious Sentiment by Daniel G. Brinton
"The Religious Sentiment" by Daniel G. Brinton is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work explores the nature and origins of religion through an analytical lens, aiming to establish the psychological underpinnings of religious sentiment by examining its emotional foundations and philosophical implications. Brinton's approach seems to be an attempt to merge scientific inquiry with philosophical discourse to understand why religions arise and persist. At the start of
the text, Brinton presents a preface outlining his goals for the work, focusing on the need for a deeper investigation into the "religious sentiment" beyond historical and ethnological studies. He asserts that the study of religion should attempt to discern the fundamental psychology behind this sentiment, including the roles of fear, hope, and love as driving forces in religious thought. By approaching religion scientifically, he sets up the exploration of various elements of the emotional landscape that contribute to the development of religious beliefs and practices, as well as the ongoing relevance of these sentiments in modern human life.
