Практичні переваги використання окремих дескрипторів релігієзнавчої типології Мері Дуглас у взаємодії з протестантами України

Abstract

The author introduces the reader to M. Douglas's typology, which proposes to assess societies using a coordinate system, where the horizontal dimension determines the degree of control over the individual and the boundaries of the groupness, as well as how strongly the group guards its boundaries. The vertical dimension, on the other hand, measures the level of grid and social roles. The main key descriptors considered are: communication, blame, envy, economic growth/change, scarcity, risk, apathy, and conflict resolution. Each of these descriptors is accompanied by an application to Ukrainian Protestants and an explanation of the corresponding cosmology.
