The Marxian Sociology of Religion in Yugoslavia
Marko Oršolić
Sažetak
The Sociology in general and the Sociology of religion in particular is an emerging science in Yugoslavia, although the problems of religiosity were treated by some early ethnological and anthropogeographic studies (V. Jagić, N. Nodilo, I. Pilar, J. Cvijić and others). The post-war development of the Sociology of religion in Yugoslavia can be analysed in two phases. In the first ten or more post-war years the Sociology of religion, if justifiably called so, was of a dogmatic and vulgarly Marxian approach to the religious phenomena (O. Mandić, A. Fiamengo, V. Ribar). The positivist and enlightenment assumptions of the criticism of the religion following Paul Holbach. Karl Kautski and Soviet examples poses a simplified thesis that the knowledge, from the one hand, and the intervention of the socialist society into the socio-economic problems answering the existential questions, from the other hand, will do away with the very foundations of religion and the religion itself. A new approach started to pervade recently, when the body of knowledge and suppositions concerning the phenomenon of religion following the Marx’s concepts ere related to the results of empirical research. (Esad Cimić, Zdenko Roter, Srdan Vrcan, Marko Kerževan, Štefica Bahtijarević). This developmental stage of the Sociology of religion is characterized by numerous research on some specific sociological problems of religion, which being neither the empty theoretical constructs nor mere non-imaginative empiricism achieved a more or less harmonious synthesis of theory and research results. The Sociology of religion in Yugoslavia is expected to yield significant achievements if this direction is followed.
