Abstract

Trotz eines langen Diskurses in Theologie, (Religions-)Philosophie und auch (Neuro-)-Psychologie fehlen allgemein anerkannte und konsensfähige Definitionen, die das gesamte Spektrum des Glaubensbegriffes abdecken. Da Ereignisse und Objekte in der komplexen Welt unter Beteiligung des Präfrontalkortex als probabilistische Repräsentationen mit persönlicher Bedeutung und Bewertung abgebildet werden, schlagen wir vor, dass diese probabilistischen Repräsentationen persönliche Glaubensinhalte darstellen. Unser Modell der Glaubensprozesse  ̶  sogenannter Creditionen  ̶  ist geeignet, die Komponenten und mentalen Vorgänge der säkularen und nicht-säkularen Glaubensbildung zu beschreiben.
