	Why Is Religion Natural? (Skeptical Inquirer Mar 2003)
		Social interaction requires the operation of complex mental systems: to represent not just other people's beliefs and their intentions, but also the extent to which they can be trusted, the extent to which they find us trustworthy, how social exchange works, how to detect cheaters, how to build alliances, and so on.
		Witchcraft beliefs are only one manifestation of a phenomenon that is found in many human groups, the interpretation of misfortune as a consequence of envy.
		Although people often state that their moral rules are a consequence of the existence (or of the decrees) of supernatural agents, it is quite clear that such intuitions are present, independent of religious concepts.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.10.19
		The list of restrictions on women Gaca cites from the Paedagogus is, after all, much like the attack on a list of behaviors in the Elder Seneca's Controversiae 2.7 (the case of the foreign merchant).
		Gaca lists the rituals Greeks would have had to give up in order to be Christians (187) and notes that baptism would not have removed their belief in Aphrodite, lending Tatian a certain logic (First Commandment = no Aphrodite = no sex, 236-37).

	Social Darwinist Encyclopedia Article @ NaturalResearch.org (Natural Research)
		While Social Darwinism applies the concept of evolution and natural selection to human cultural systems, the extent to which the ideologies related to it are a part of Darwin's biological theory of evolution or Spencer's classical liberal philosophy is arguable.
		This was developed in Social Darwinism to the belief that throughout history it was the weak species and races that died out or were exterminated, with the White race regarded as the greatest race because it had an attitude of superiority and a will to conquer.
		Social Darwinist theory itself does not necessarily engender a political position: some Social Darwinists would argue for the inevitability of progress, while others emphasise the potential for the degeneration of humanity, and some even attempt to enroll Social Darwinism in a reformist politics.

	SquareSound Forums - Split from 'Masashi Hamauzu': The nature of theory, tonality, and musical history

		The great composers throughout history have known intimately all the music that came before them and all the systems on which that music was based.

		The list operates under the belief that the created languages of Tolkien fully merit scholarly and technical study as language systems in their own right, and as an outstanding example of language-creation for aesthetic and artistic purposes (glossopoesy), quite apart from the study of Tolkien's work within the field of literary criticism.
		The list, despite its title, is not specifically limited to Elvish languages; discussion of Mannish and Dwarvish tongues, of the so-called "minor" languages, and of proto-languages derived by reconstruction based on the published languages, is encouraged.
		Since many constructed languages have a fictional background, this description is complicated by not being able to use possible descriptive terms such as "human language" which would be descriptive, if it were not prejudicial to the Alien conlangs.
