- Title
The epistemology of spirit beliefs.

- Abstract
"The Epistemology of Spirit Beliefs" by Hans Van Eyghen is a comprehensive exploration of how individuals form, validate, and uphold their beliefs in spirits. The book integrates historical context, contemporary philosophy, and empirical research to provide a balanced understanding of spirit beliefs and their epistemological implications. It bridges the gaps between philosophy and anthropology, offering valuable perspectives on the nature of spirit belief across cultures. While the book primarily focuses on the epistemology of spiritual beliefs in the philosophy of religion, it may not deeply engage with the nuanced ethnographic contexts that anthropologists often explore. However, it will still be of interest to students and scholars of anthropology, philosophy, psychology of religion, neuroscience, and ethnography.
