SOCIOLOGIJA RELIGIJE HANSA MOLA: REFLEKSIJE O ODNOSU IDENTITETA I SVETOG.

The paper explicates Hans Mol's basic principles of identity theory of religion focusing on the relationship of the central theoretical concepts in the context of his sociology of religion - concept based on observing the relation between social production of the structure of the identity and the sacred. It is shown that religion for Hans Mola is understandable and determinable from the perspective of “mechanism of sacralization of the identity” specifying each of its constituent elements. The paper positions the role that Hans Mol took up on the debate about the secularization of the sixties and seventies from which certain conclusions can be made that the debate had the famous “theoretical logic of sociology” (Jeffrey C. Alexander). Among other things, the paper discusses also the authentic consequences of the “identity theory of religion” which are expressed in the form of sacralization of any scientific or political discourse. This paper is structured from introduction, three chapters and conclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
