2. To give the reader some lead as to my personal opinion, there are some trends towards a new evaluation of nature and towards a new understanding of the concept of responsibility which, to my mind, are worthy of sympathetic observation; there are others towards more ego-centredness, towards new mysticism, occultism, or magically orientated anti-rationalism even which deserve careful criticism. Both types of (sacred) values are traceable within, as well as outside, organized religions, old and new. But to choose positions such as these implies a readiness to engage in what I call “applied sociology” which is different from distant research aimed at “value-free” description and analysis. Both branches of inquiry are needed in my view, but the latter derives relevance from the former.
