The letter, dated July 1972, explains the gist of the the book and suggests the Alaska recipient, with whom he has been re-acquainted, might find the books thesis intemperate.
Vetter provides a rational explanation of religious activities through the scientific study of man's psyche. A reductionist, Vetter defines religion as the development of stereotyped habits. The author's greatest faith? Science.

Description:
New York: Philosophical Library, 1958. 1st ed. . Blue Cloth. VG/G-VG. 14.5 Cm x 21.5 Cm. unpag. prelims+555, 8 plates ex-pag.; clean, unmarked and minimally worn, only slight rubbing to bottom edge by bottom spine and hint of fading top spine corners; illustrated jacket, in protective wrapper when acquired, looks very good at first glance and is indeed clean, but on inspection there is sufficient edge rubbing and spine end chipping, along with clipping to top front wraparound to downgrade from a full VG rating. A thoroughly reductionist attack on religious belief in learning theory terms, which is uncommon in the Psychology of Religion genre. Uncommon. Note: quoted shipping rates are calculated for 500-700 gram net weight, cost will be modified up or down as appropriate outside this range.
