Talcott Parsons and Karl Marx |
Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann |
Max Weber and Herbert Spencer |
Emile Durkheim and Talcott Parsons |
Herbert Spencer and Talcott Parsons |
The phenomenological approach is particularly associated with the work of Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann. Berger and Luckmann have put forward a phenomenological view of religion: Religion is produced by members of society subjectively interpreting and giving meaning to the world around them. According to Berger and Luckmann, religion helps to build, maintain and legitimate universes of meaning. Throughout human history religion has played a decisive part in the construction and maintenance of universes. A universe of meaning requires constant legitimation: It needs repeated reinforcement and justification. Members of society must be told and retold that their universe of meaning is real, true, correct and legitimate. Without this support, a universe of meaning would tend to crumble, life would become meaningless, and the stability of society would be threatened.
