ABSTRACT

Modern society is secularised society. It is a society for which the entire

atmosphere is formed steadily less by the sacred and steadily more by the

profane. The disenchantment of the world as diagnosed by Max Weber

extensively defines a society that is governed by Enlightenment and ration-

alism. The question of technical feasibility suppresses the metaphysical

question of origin and meaning. Unavoidably, religion comes to collide with

the demands and results of science. It moves into the margins of interest

and loses its cultural plausibility.1
