摘要
The rational choice approach attracts various criticisms, many of them unfounded. This essay defends rational choice as a powerful paradigm for the scientific study of religion. The paradigm unifies a wide range of empirical findings, generates new hypotheses to guide future research, and proves relevant to both contemporary and historical settings.
