Abstract | 當代社會的宗教發展日趨複雜化與多元化。本文根據宗教社會學既有的理論及研究成果,指出晚近日益普及的新興宗教/靈性運動中一個醒目的核心特徵――「自我」主題的突顯,這是該運動與一般制度宗教最大的對比和差異點。作者把這種新興宗教/靈性運動稱為「自我宗教」,而具有高度融合性及綜攝性的新時代靈性觀即是此一新興靈性觀的典型範例與代表。本文評述多位社會學者對當代宗教變遷的觀察與解析,相關的社會學議題包括宗教社會學對宗教定義的反省、宗教運動團體類型的區分、涂爾幹的「個人崇拜」說以及Luckmann所謂的「隱形宗教」等。這些研究都一致指出在宗教領域中制度力量的衰微以及個人/「自我」主題的突顯。本文以新時代靈性觀為例,闡述這種新興「自我宗教」具有的內涵與特徵。
The religion in Western society has experienced tremendous transformations since the 1960s. By reviewing the studies in sociology of religion, this paper shows that Self Religion has become a significant theme in the religious transformations. Many sociologists describe these prominent changes from different aspects. For example, Hammond proposes that the increase of religious autonomy is a significant facet in contemporary American religious transformations. Wuthnow identifies that, since the 1950s, the American religion has changed from a dwelling-oriented spirituality to a seeking-oriented one. Roof reveals that the baby boom generation has been attracted to the subjectivity- centered and multilayered religious beliefs. This paper also discusses related sociological issues, such as the definition of religion, the types of New Religious Movements, Durkheim’s cult of man, and Luckmann’s invisible religion. In general, these studies show the decline of institutional religion and the enhancement of autonomy in individual’s religious affairs. To conclude, I delineate the characteristics of Self Religion, in which New Age spirituality is a central component. |
