Religions of Modernity: Relocating the Sacred to the Self and the Digital: International Studies in Religion and Society, cartea 12

Editat de Stef Aupers
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 iul 2010
Religions of Modernity' challenges the social-scientific orthodoxy that, once unleashed, the modern forces of individualism, science and technology inevitably erode the sacred and evoke the profane. The book’s chapters, some by established scholars, others by junior researchers, document instead in rich empirical detail how modernity relocates the sacred to the deeper layers of the self and the domain of digital technology. Rather than destroying the sacred tout court, then, the cultural logic of modernization spawns its own religious meanings, unacknowledged spiritualities and magical enchantments. The classical theoretical accounts of modernity by Max Weber, Emile Durkheim and others, it is argued in the introductory chapter, already hinted that there's a future for such religions of modernity.

Recenzii

This book should be required reading in the sociology of religion; it would be equally valuable to scholars in cultural anthropology and the study of religion, and indeed anyone with an interest in New Age spirituality and the development of religion in the modern Western world. - Margaret Gouin University of Wales: Trinity Saint David in: Alternative Spirituality and Religion Review, Vol. 2, Iss. 1 (2011)
