摘要
当前,民间信仰已成为多学科的研究对象。相比民俗学、历史学、人类学等学科而言,社会学较少涉入民间信仰研究。本文提出有关民间信仰的一套比较系统的"社会学研究论纲",即从社会学的现实研究取向、研究方法、研究视角、理论运用和道德责任五个不同层面来分别阐释对民间信仰开展的五个方面研究:现状研究、实证研究、关系论研究、理论解释和批判研究。本论纲乃希望达到三个目的:其一是呼吁社会学学者能更多地关注民间信仰现象、参与到民间信仰现象的研究队伍中来;其二是提供一套民间信仰的社会学研究取向、研究方法、研究视角、解释路径和研究立场,供其他学科批判或借鉴;其三是希望能摆脱以基督教为主要研究对象发展而成的宗教社会学理论在解释中国经验时的尴尬处境,推动中国本土宗教的社会学理论建设。
