‘Een geweldige illusie’: Over de theologische achtergronden van Freuds Die Zukunft einer Illusion (original) (raw)
2005, NTT Journal for Theology and the Study of Religion
In this article it is argued that Freuds The Future of an Illusion is highly influenced by two of his followers, Theodor Reik and Oskar Pfister. Their views on religion reflect positions in theological debates within modern theology, debates about the formation of dogmas, the historical core of religion and the position of psychology of religion in relation with dogmatics. Their work on religion as a system of dogmas, their ideas on religion as illusion and their analysis that dogmas are obsolete, are adopted by Freud. The Future of an Illusion can also be seen as part of a controversy between Freud and Pfister on the relationship between psychoanalysis and religion.

Naturalism and qualitative research Roy Gigengack In his discussion of Doing Qualitative Research: The Craft of Naturalistic Inquiry (Beuving & De Vries, 2015, Amsterdam: AUP), Gigengack praises its accessibility and the valuable chapters on interviewing, documents, portrayals, and things, especially for method courses. But he dislikes the authors’ conception of naturalism and the definition of qualitative research as a craft. In their reaction, Beuving and De Vries stress that in their conception naturalism is to be seen as a form of realism, but Gigengack replies with an analysis of the book’s cover picture to show the limitations of this view. In a comment on these discussions, Smaling describes Beuving & De Vries’ position as one of four conceptions of naturalism in qualitative research.
Jean Van Lierde (1926-2006). De kracht van een overtuiging
Brood & Rozen, 2007
De kracht van een overtuiging De strijd tegen de militaire dienstplicht en voor de erkenning van het recht op gewetensbezwaren op filosofische, religieuze of morele gronden heeft in België een lange parlementaire weg doorlopen. Een van de voorvechters in deze strijd was Jean Van Lierde (1926-2006), die in 1949 weigerde zijn dienstplicht te vervullen. Van Lierde wilde evenwel het traditionele pacifisme overstijgen en wist zijn antimilitarisme op feilloze wijze te combineren met de strijd tegen het kolonialisme, de sociale uitbuiting en het totalitarisme. Op professioneel vlak moet hij vooral herinnerd worden als de algemeen secretaris van de CRISP-publicaties. Wie hem ooit ontmoet heeft zal erkennen dat Van Lierde een onmiskenbare begeestering uitstraalde. Zijn bureau in het Vredeshuis in de Elsense Van Elewijckstraat, volgestouwd met allerlei boeken, tijdschriften, brieven en papieren, was de neerslag van een gevuld en gepassioneerd leven.
Wat telt als godsdienstsociologie? De last van een rijk verleden
2016
What counts as sociology of religion? The burden of a rich past In 1960, the Dutch journal of the Catholic Social-Ecclesial Institute (Kaski) Sociaal Kompas became Social Compass. This shift rounded off a period now considered as the heyday of Dutch sociology of religion. Ironically, in those years, Catholic sociologists in particular contested the legitimacy of taking religion as an object of sociological study. Each period in the history of sociology of religion appears to present a different face of it due to the interplay between the political field, the religious field, and the academic field, while the self-identification of its practitioners as sociologists of religion is far from self-evident. After 1980, further secularization resulted in a subsequent decline of chairs in sociology of religion. As direct, competitive government funding of academic research gained traction, the social-scientific study of religion continues to be funded. In so far as politicians and religious...
