Possibilities and difficulties in the modernisation of Croatian society from the viewpoints of Mardešić, Rogić and Županov
Gordan Črpić
Abstract
The paper dealing with the work of Croatian sociologist Željko Mardešić was presented at the scientific symposium on »Željko Mardešić – Metamorphoses of the Sacred in Modern World« that took place in Zagreb in June 2011. The paper indicates that Mardešić should not be seen solely as a sociologist of religion, but primarily as a Croatian sociologist who offered a great contribution to understanding the modernisation of Croatian society, in particular by reflecting on the phenomenon of religiosity and the sacred in the manner of a classic sociologist. In this context the paper gives an insight in the analysis of modernisation processes in Rogić and Županov and shows that the three authors, starting from different theoretical baselines and different angles of view, came up with their original contributions to understanding modernisation in Croatia.
