Warum wir Trost brauchen
Resonanz
The time of theories on modernity of a philosophical and sociological nature has not yet expired by any means, as is sometimes presumed. On the contrary, our current era not only seems to almost need such theories but also to demand them.

A Sociology of our Relat…

We distinguish between three ways of dealing with religion in this context: value communication, value transfer and value presentation Exploratory empirical research shows that trainee teachers recognise only two approaches. The first two are combined. Whether and ho…
