| Description | The book deals with one of the key problems of modern sociology of religion - secularization as a decline in the social significance of religious institutions, religious consciousness and religious practices in the conditions of modern Western societies. Through an analysis of the most prominent works of European and U. S. provenance (Berger, Luckmann, Wilson, Martin, Bellah, Fenn, Dobbelaere, Bruce), it follows the central question: To what extent is secularization an inevitable fate of the modern world? It distinguishes between secularization as an analytical concept related to empirically demonstrable socio-cultural processes and the secularization narrative as the "grand narrative" on incompatibility between modernity and religion. |
