The Heart of a Heartless World
By
Religion as Ideology
“This book introduces the basic elements of psychoanalysis and historical materialism in the best possible way, by bringing their respective insights to bear on an intriguing and unresolved question. Pursuing why it is that religious ideas, in the face of a paucity of evidence, have such a deep hold on human beings, Scott Mann shows just how powerfully explanatory these two theories can be.” Jean Curthoys, author of Feminist Amnesia
