Religion and Psychological Concepts
Abstract
In this chapter we are concerned to consider some of those psychological concepts which are of great importance for the study of religion, and we begin with instincts and the general concept of the unconscious, since much that distinguishes the religious life has its origin in the activity of the instincts operating below the level of ordinary everyday awareness.
