In der Extremismusforschung herrscht wenig Konsens darüber, was genau Distanzierungs- und Ausstiegsprozesse ausmacht. Was jedoch feststeht, ist, dass es nicht „den einen“ Weg aus dem Extremismus gibt. Mit diesem Theoriemodell wird angestrebt, die zahlreichen Wege aus dem Extremismus in einem Theoriegerüst zusammenzufassen und dabei einen Aspekt ganz besonders zu fokussieren: Die Rolle von Identität und Gruppendynamiken.

Während sich der erste Teil der Publikation mit der Entwicklung der theoretischen Grundlage beschäftigt, beschreibt der zweite Teil die Anwendung der...

This book takes a social psychological perspective to study the ways in which identity, religious beliefs and well-being are related to and affect each other in the contemporary world.

The study of religion by the humanities and social sciences has become receptive for an evolutionary perspective. Some proposals model the evolution of religion in Darwinian terms, or construct a synergy between biological and non-Darwinian processes. The results, however, have not yet become truly interdisciplinary. The biological theory of evolution in form of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES) is only sparsely represented in theories published so far by scholars of religion. Therefore this book reverses the line of view and asks how their results assort with evolutionary...

Dieses Buch hat die Entstehung der Kultursoziologie in Deutschland im Zeitraum von 1887 bis 1933 zum Gegenstand. Ausgehend von der um 1900 weit verbreiteten Kulturkritik im deutschen Sprachraum wird zum einen die Bedeutung der Nietzsche-Rezeption und der Auseinandersetzung mit der ästhetisch-literarischen Moderne für die frühe deutsche Soziologie aufgezeigt. Die Konfrontation mit der modernen Geschlechterfrage und der Krise der Wissenschaft sind weitere Schwerpunkte der vorliegenden Abhandlung. Ausführlich behandelt werden dabei die entsprechenden Arbeiten von Ferdinand Tönnies, Georg...
