Ariel Glucklich Livres

Ariel Glucklich explore la psychologie et la biologie de la religion, examinant les motivations de l'adhésion religieuse et les aspects autodestructeurs de la foi. Son œuvre, y compris des textes fondamentaux sur l'usage volontaire de la douleur dans la vie religieuse, analyse la relation complexe entre la croyance et le comportement humain. Actuellement, Glucklich enquête sur les dangers posés par la prolifération nucléaire et les dynamiques culturelles qui permettent des actions étatiques potentiellement suicidaires. Ses recherches abordent également le monde fascinant des jeunes prodiges religieux et des compétitions religieuses mondiales.
