El artículo que sigue busca identificar las creencias y emociones que motivan a los creyentes a rendirle devoción a las imágenes religiosas. A través del planteamiento del Neurocientífico Antonio Damásio y desde los postulados de las emociones cognitivo – evaluativa, de la filósofa Marta Nussbaum. Además, se espera contribuir al reconocimiento del ser humano en su contexto religioso desde las diversas áreas del conocimiento del siglo XXI
Since ancient times, the many cultures have captured their religious beliefs and devotions in images, regardless the faith they profess. Because of it, they question themselves, seek answers and express their afflictions, joys and hopes. However, there is still a gap of knowledge that allows explaining the emotional connection that originates in believers to pay devotion to religious images. Considering that emotions play a fundamental role in human actions and decisions. Therefore, the article that follows has set out to identify the beliefs and emotions that motivate believers to pay devotion to religious images. This, through the approach of the Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio and from the postulates of cognitive-evaluative emotions of the philosopher Marta Nussbaum. Hoping thus, to contribute to the recognition of the human being in their religious context and, at the same time, to the reflection by man in the search for meaning from the various areas of knowledge (Anthropology, Psychology, Sociology, among others) of the 21st century.
