ABSTRACT

This article asks what, if anything, Christian theology should learn from the cognitive science of religion (CSR). Two possible answers are explored. The first is that Christian theology has nothing to learn from CSR. This is rejected in favour of the second: theology can learn from CSR by appropriating CSR insights carefully and critically to a theological understanding formed first and foremost by Scripture. Karl Barth’s theological critique of religion and his engagement with Ludwig Feuerbach are used as a model for this approach. The article concludes with specific proposals about how, and how not, to engage theologically with CSR.

摘要

本文询问基督教神学应该从宗教认知科学（CSR）中学习什么（如果有的话）。探讨了两种可能的答案。首先，基督教神学没有什么可以从企业社会责任中学到的。第二种观点被拒绝：神学可以通过仔细而批判性地将企业社会责任的见解运用到首先由圣经形成的神学理解中，来从企业社会责任中学习。卡尔·巴特对宗教的神学批判以及他与路德维希·费尔巴哈的接触被用作这种方法的典范。文章最后提出了关于如何以及如何不从神学角度参与企业社会责任的具体建议。
