Karlsaune - Luckmann (3399 words)
Thomas Luckmann fra det overveiende katolske Slovenia derimot var og er katolikk, og var og er uten særinteresser i teologi.
Det er i egenskap av å være genuint empirisk som vitenskapsmann, noe som impliserer den største respekt for egenarten hos det fenomen som studeres, at Thomas Luckmann er "hensynsløs" overfor teologene.
Vi tar ikke opp den siden av saken at Thomas Luckmann, som klassikerne, nok vil mene at det er nettopp i analysen av religionen at sosiologen kan komme på sporet av det som er det moderne samfunnets karakteristiske trekk.
