Die demographische Entwicklung in Deutschland hat uns bewusst gemacht, dass sich Gesellschaft, Politik und Wirtschaft auf die Einbindung von alteren Menschen in die Arbeitswelt einstellen müssen. Damit gewinnt aus durchaus praktischen Gründen die wissenschaftliche Erforschung des sozialen Lebenslaufs und seine politische Gestaltung insgesamt eine zentrale Bedeutung: Die schnelle und fundamentale Änderung von modernen Lebensverlaufen erfordert eine bewusste Politik in zahlreichen Bereichen. Dieser Band bietet einerseits die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen der Lebenslaufforschung, andererseits untersucht er die Politikbereiche, in denen Lebenslaufpolitik verstarkt betrieben werden muss.

Report

"We often throw a word like 'modern' around, as if we know what it means, or as if there were only one way of getting to or being modern. The present collection of essays on the religions and modernity (and on the modern study of religion) is a powerful reminder that we usually do not know what we are talking about, and that there are multiple religious modernities, each with their own specific political, colonial, economic, psychological, moral, and secular nuances. The volume is a model of comparative theorizing done precisely and deeply."
Jeffrey J. Kripal, Rice University, USA
