Published in 1910, Ames’s book explores the methods of functional psychology, emphasizing the notion that instinctive impulses are the natural springs of all conduct and thus the ultimate source from which religions arises. Based on the hypothesis that religion is the consciousness of the highest social values, the study uses material from anthropology, the history of religions, and other social sciences.
