| Résumé: | Certain concepts in the theory of art might be applicable to the psychology of religion, particularly when one realizes that in ontogenesis the individual tends to be introduced at once to art and religion. This paper describes first the reciprocal reinforcement between art and religion in childhood and subsequent cultural experience. It goes on to suggest that significant understanding of religion can be gained from a systematic application of the art-theoretical constructs of craft, imagination, and illusion. The dubious status of satisfaction (or pleasure and pain experiences) in art and religion is surveyed, leading to the proposal that the numinous satisfaction of religion has a unique, irreducible quality. |
