Morphogenetic approaches to religion : understanding religion from the perspective of Margaret Archer
2010
Masteroppgave i religion- Universitetet i Agder 2010 The general theory and methodology offered by Margaret Archer under the name of “the morphogenetic approach” represents the major developments within critical realist social theory.

Learning how to co…

In a liberal society, the most important form of religious power is normative power. Strict and demanding religious organizations will have difficulties in a liberal, anti-authoritarian society. Such organizations may succeed in increasing their control over loyal members, but in a broader context, they will be branded as authoritarian by the secular media and …
