Part One of the book provides the theoretical background and guides the reader through some of the principal debates. After an overview of the secularization thesis, which argues that the West is becoming increasingly disenchanted, the second chapter turns to the sociological analysis of new religions and alternative spiritualities. Particular attention is given to the ideas of the sociologist of religion ErnstCultsWestern countriesWestern countriesReligionCults200.91821 $2 23Partridge Christopher H.(Christopher Hugh),1961-,1085717MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910153147503321The re-enchantment of the West2631233UNINA05501nam 22006615 450 991025406460332120251230061843.03-319-31756-310.1007/978-3-319-31756-4(CKB)3710000000765125(DE-He213)978-3-319-31756-4(MiAaPQ)EBC4615307(PPN)194515389(EXLCZ)99371000000076512520160728d2016 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierGeometric Methods in Physics XXXIV Workshop, Białowieża, Poland, June 28 – July 4, 2015 /edited by Piotr Kielanowski, S.

The articles presented are mathematically rigorous, include important physical implications and address the application of geometry in classical and quantum physics. Special attention deserves the session devoted to discussions of Gerard Emch's most important and lasting achievements in mathematical physics. The Białowieża workshops are among the most important meetings in the field and gather participants from mathematics and physics alike. Despite their long tradition, the Workshops remain at the cutting edge of ongoing research. For the past several years, the Białowieża Workshop has been followed by a School on Geometry and Physics, where advanced lectures for graduate students and young researchers are presented. The unique atmosphere of the Workshop and School is enhanced by the venue, framed by the natural beauty of the Białowieża forest in eastern Poland.Trends in Mathematics,2297-024XGroup theoryGlobal analysis (Mathematics)Manifolds (Mathematics)Mathematical physicsGroup Theory and GeneralizationsGlobal Analysis and Analysis on ManifoldsMathematical Methods in PhysicsGroup theory.Global analysis (Mathematics).Manifolds (Mathematics).Mathematical physics.Group Theory and Generalizations.Global Analysis and Analysis on Manifolds.Mathematical Methods in Physics.530.120151474Kielanowski Piotredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAli S.
