摘要
二战以来,由于研究对象过分集中于西方社会中的宗教,宗教社会学在很大程度上沦为基督宗教社会学。作为宗教社会学的新范式,宗教市场理论对西方社会的排他性宗教进行了充分的分析,但是它忽略了对东亚社会中非排他性宗教的分析。当我们把该理论运用到华人社会时有必要对其适用性进行反思。我们希望这种反思有助于纠正宗教社会学的基督教中心主义,同时对未来的中国宗教研究有所助益。
After World War II,to a certain degree the narrow empirical focus on western religions has made sociology of religion becoming the sociology of Christianity.As the new paradigm in sociology of religion,the religious economy model pays great attention to exclusive religions in western societies but ignores non-exclusive religions,especially those in East Asia.The author argues that it is necessary for us to analyze the applicability of the religious economy model to Chinese religions.In doing so,we can not only broaden the scope of sociology of religion but also promote the scientific study of Chinese religion.
