Why make sacrifices to help others? The current volume targets such questions with the tools of neoclassical and behavioural economics, philosophy, and sociology of religion. Both religion and economics are analyzed as social institutions that support human intra-group cooperation. Even if individuals are rational maximizers of personal utility, they yet must take into account the reciprocal nature of human relationships. It is better to be part of a cooperative group and make some personal sacrifices because, in the end, everybody benefits from this. Sometimes the metaphor of an invisible hand is used to describe the fact that economic exchange seems to follow some rules that guarantee the best possible result for everyone. In religion, it is of course the hand of God that guides the world. In both cases, individuals are in a way playing against a superior being that always seems to win. In this volume, some of the cognitive mechanisms and cultural selective forces behind this are examined by specialists in different fields of science. The first contributions analyze theoretical and methodological issues; in later chapters, developments in the European history are explored from the perspectives of sociology and economic theory. 410 0$aReligion and reason ;$v49. 606 $aEconomics$xReligious aspects 606 $aEconomics$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aCooperation$xReligious aspects 606 $aCooperation$xMoral and ethical aspects 610 $aEconomics. 610 $aEvolution of Cooperation. 610 $aRational Choice Theory. 610 $aReligion. 610 $aTheology. 615 0$aEconomics$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aEconomics$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aCooperation$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aCooperation$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a201/.633 686 $aBE 2260$2rvk 701 $aPyysia?inen$b Ilkka$0454240 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784911803321 996 $aReligion, economy, and cooperation$93701577 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01759nas 2200517-a 450 001 996217672503316 005 20230214213019.0 011 $a1573-2886 035 $a(OCoLC)41570018 035 $a(CKB)954925621194 035 $a(CONSER)--2006242026 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2005418-X 035 $a(EXLCZ)99954925621194 100 $a19990618a19979999 s-- a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn#|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aJournal of combinatorial optimization 210 $a1997-2004 ;$aBoston $cKluwer Academic Publishers 210 $a2005- ;$a[New York] $cSpringer US 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 300 $aTitle from journal information screen (SpringerLink, viewed Apr. 11, 2006). 311 $a1382-6905 531 $aJ COMB OPTIM 531 $aJ COMB OPTI 531 $aJ.
