	John Berger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in England, Berger served in the British Army from 1944 to 1946; he then enrolled in the Chelsea School of Art and the Central School of Art in London.
		When accepting the prize Berger made a point of donating half his cash award to the Black Panther Party in Britain, and retaining half to support his work on the study of migrant workers that became A Seventh Man, insisting on both as necessary parts of his political struggle.
		Berger's recent novels include To the Wedding, a love story dealing with the AIDS crisis, and King: A Street Story, a novel on homeless and shantytown life told from the perspective of a street dog.

	Cal Law
		Berger, who's been on the bench for nearly seven years after working as a public defender for more than 20, is the supervising judge of the Richmond courthouse.
		Berger notes that the Richmond outpost of the court hosts many young attorneys still learning the ropes, and he concedes that he can get impatient and even frustrated when a lawyer misses a critical point in his own case or fails to explain it adequately.
		Berger has also won respect of attorneys from both sides of the aisle for having a track record of making decisions promptly and for being fair.

	Peter Berger's The Sacred Canopy: An Analysis
		Peter Berger's The Sacred Canopy: Elements of a Sociological Theory of Religion is, just as it purports to be, a theoretical work.
		Berger is not attempting to create a sociological theory of religion, but rather to define several elements that would create such a theory.
		Berger applies very few concrete examples in his sociological analysis of religion; however, he frequently discusses the changing impact of Protestantism on the world, and of the world on Protestantism.

	Oliphint_Berger's_Sociology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Berger's critique of the "demythologization" of Bultmann and the "translation model" of Feuerbach is that both assume at the outset the definitive and unchangeable character of secularization itself.
		Berger, therefore, will opt for the inductive approach as that which alone is able to face modernity and religion together such that religion's plausibility in the face of modernity is restored.
		Because Berger's position is neoclassical, he sees it as a progression from that which was before him, that which tended to look at only one side of the picture of reality.

		Berger is of course a moralist; he is, in fact, a Christian thinker.
		Berger looks upon the sixties as a confused period in which people misread the malaise caused by the growth of technology and bureaucracy as signs of the emergence of a new society.
		The youth movement is related by Berger to the personalist method of child rearing adopted by middle class parents in the fifties which left young people unprepared to live in the modern world defined by impersonal relations.

	"The Routinization of Charisma?
		Berger on the other hand is more concerned with tracing the changes in fortune of various 'dominant' motifs and in general adopts a more flexible and less theologically determined position, although ultimately he also seems to endorse the idea that the motif describes the essence (Berger 1954b:478).
		Berger's presentation of both motifs raises the question of the extent to which the motif can be regarded as the cause of any historical changes.
		Berger himself points out that strong organization can occur in a sect as a means of furthering the sect's mission in the world and that it is the retreat of the spirit rather than change in organizational forms which is of the essence of the transformation of the sect into the church (1954a:168; 1954b:480-1).

		Peter Berger's writings on religion are a rare combination of scholarly detachment and personal engagement.
		As a leading figure in interpretive sociology, Berger, who teaches at Boston University, has provided a coherent account both of how the elements of the religious world view--what he terms the "sacred canopy"--are constituted and of how they come under challenge.
		...Berger also has surprisingly little patience for those who in a Jewish context would be called "returnees," neotraditionalist and neo-orthodox types who "in laying claim to certitude, must deny [their] own experience of uncertainty...

	berger02
		Both deduction, which involves a reaffirmation of the authority of a religious tradition in the face of secular authority, and reduction, which attempts to reinterpret a religious tradition in the terms of secular authority, are rejected by Berger in favor of the induction.
		Berger’s account of experience is surprisingly modern (i.e., non-constructivist) – I say “surprisingly” because Berger’s Sacred Canopy seems to suggest a different relationship between experience and interpretation (i.e., one in which experience is necessarily shaped by society) – both in its appeal to pre-theoretical experience and in its valorization of the liberal Protestant tradition.
		Moreover, while Berger is keen to point out that the liberal Protestant tradition misread this core experience (as ethical) because of their cultural biases, he seems naively optimistic about his chances of circumventing his own cultural biases (although he falls smack into them in his account of mysticism).

		Listen to Web-only audio of Berger discussing why western Europe is currently the least religious area of the world — in fact, the only major geographic exception to the general vitality of religious energies and practices around the globe.
		In this essay, sociologist Peter Berger presents a picture of the cultural dynamics of globalization that are often driven by varied religious and ethical traditions.
		In the 1960s, Berger and other experts believed in secularization theory, which predicted that the power of religion would decrease across the globe with growing prosperity and modernization.

	Peter Berger's The Homeless Mind thesis
		For Peter Berger the sociologist, religion has always been a human construction, a social universe of meaning projecting a sacred cosmos.
		This, in the Durkheimian sense, is seen as instability replacing stability, and thus Berger's use of the title "The Homeless Mind" (1974).
		Whilst changes in modernity can be discussed generally, Berger, the Lutheran, is interested in religion and its changes and responses to social change and sees religion contributing to social change through its history as well as being changed by broader forces.

		As I've said elsewhere in TSS, I think this book continues to be an excellent introduction to Sociology...despite some of its shortcomings (such as Berger's writing style and some of his particular philosophical views)...and even considering its 1963 copyright date.
		I've also utilized Berger's ideas (and those of C. Wright Mills) as an "evaluative standard" by which to assess the sociological ideas of other thinkers (go here to read that essay).
		My purpose with these outlines is to cut through some of Berger's unnecessary verbage and present the core ideas which are the essence of the book.

		This study of their work clarifies their contributions to the analysis of culture and shows the converging assumptions that the authors believe are laying the foundation for a new approach to the study of culture.
		The focus is specifically on culture, a concept that remains subject to ambiguites of treatment, and concentrates on questions concerning the definition and content of culture, its construction, its relations with social conditions, and the manner in which it may be changing.
		In particular, the book shows that Berger, Douglas, Foucault, and Habermas have made strides towards defining cultuer as an objective element of social interaction which can be subjected to critical inverstigation.
