This book examines recent forms of secularisation to demonstrate
that we are now witnessing a "fourth secularisation": the autonomy
of lifestyles. After introducing two initial secularising
movements, from mythos to Logos and from Logos to Christianity, the
book sets out how from Max Weber onwards a third movement emerged
that practised the autonomy of science. More recently, daily life
radicalises Weber's secularisation and its scope has spread out to
include autonomy of individual practices, which has given rise to
this fourth iteration. The book outlines these first three forms of
secularisation and then analyses the fourth secularisation in
depth, identifying its three main dimensions: the
de-institutionalisation of the religious lifestyle; the
individualisation of faith; and the development of new social forms
in the religious field. These areas of religious practice are shown
to be multiplying partly as a result of the general
aestheticization of society. Individuals, therefore, aspire to
personal styles of life with regard to beliefs and the choice of
their own religious practices. This book will be of great use to
scholars of religious studies, secularisation and the sociology of
religion.
