Ritual as a Form of the Religious Mentality

A grounded social inquiry into religion presupposes serious conceptualizations of typical religious phenomena, such as ritual. The concept of ritual should be one which pertains to ritual as a phenomenon in itself, not as a mere occasion for the workings of non-ritual and non-religious variables. A preliminary formulation of such a concept is attempted. Ritual is described as an embodiment of a presupposed set of attitudinal stances, demarcated by social convention
