Item Guru-uczniowie-wspólnota(Wydawnictwo Naukowe WNS UAM, 2010) Kaczmarek, KamilJak powstają nowe religie? Skąd wypływa niecodzienny autorytet ich przywódców? W jaki sposób niektórzy członkowie społeczeństwa staja się uczestnikami kontrowersyjnych grup religijnych? Jakie mechanizmy decydują o porażce lub sukcesie nowej religii? Na te między innymi pytania szuka odpowiedzi autor niniejszej książki. Analizując konkretny przypadek jednej z grup religijnych, stara się jednocześnie wykazać, iż"wielkie księgi' pozostawione przez klasyków humanistyki nadal dostarczają użytecznych narzędzi poznawczych w takich poszukiwaniach.Item Herbert Spencer a problemy socjologii religii(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2007) Kaczmarek, KamilThe study presents an analysis of the sociology of religion contained in the works of Herbert Spencer. The whole study is not a historical one. Its aim and method are defined by the paradigm called the sociological neo-classicism. It assumes not only to describe but also to develop and, in some cases, to overcome old thoughts. Each of the chapters consists of two parts: reconstruction of Spencer's theory of religion and its transformation into tools useful to solve problems of contemporary sociology of religion. In the first chapter questions are undertaken which are related to the theory of identification of religion as a social and cultural phenomenon, i.e. what religion is and what is its structure. In the second chapter the author tried to distinguish some important mechanisms by which the social phenomena could influence religion. In the last chapter the author is concerned with effectiveness of religion on some social structures.Item Herbert Spencer o religii i porządku społecznym(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2005) Kaczmarek, KamilMogą istnieć czworakie związki między porządkiem społecznym a religią. Po pierwsze religia może być rozpatrywana jako uwarunkowana przez jakąś konkretną formę porządku społecznego, po drugie może sama oddziaływać na porządek społeczny, po trzecie możemy rozważać porządek społeczny występujący w ramach religii, a ściślej, w ramach organizacji religijnej, po czwarte wreszcie w pewnych przypadkach i w pewnym sensie możemy mówić o religijności samego porządku społecznego. Te cztery grupy problemów są ze sobą powiązane. Rozpatrzymy niektóre związane z nimi zagadnienia z zamierzeniem zademonstrowania możliwości tkwiących w pewnych pomysłach Herberta Spencera.Item Herberta Spencera teoria zróżnicowania społecznego(RUCH PRAWNICZY, EKONOMICZNY I SOCJOLOGICZNY, 2003) Kaczmarek, KamilThe paper analyses main aspects of social differentiation as viewed by Herbert Spencer. Spencer's understanding of social class is dynamie: firstly, he views society as composed of two main classes: sustaining and regulating. Subsequent integration of societies into larger ones initiates arising new classes and social institutions as a rcsult of differentiation of functions and structures. Each of organically related sets of classes is called a system by Spencer. Therefore, the number and complexity of classes inereases along with the development of social organization and structure. Spencer's concept is also three-dimensional: one can distinguish three streams of class analysis in his works, namely functional, gradual and antagonistic. The most important one here is functional. Each system performs different functions: regulative, operative, distributive, etc. Those functions determine the character of its classes. Spencer uses the term class also to denote functionalities of cultural and religious institutions. Their function is to augment life and to subserue needs related to religious sentiments and ideas. Classes in each system are ordered in a gradual manner, according to their role in the system. The concept of class-bias di vi des social systems into two targe classes of different and oflen antagonistic social interests: employer and employee, ruler and subject, etc.Item Ideologiczny heraklityzm a ewolucjonizm(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego, 2010) Kaczmarek, Kamil; Zaręba, S.H.Item Klasyczna teoria charyzmy Maxa Webera. Kilka problemów z empirycznym zastosowaniem(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2007) Kaczmarek, KamilItem Nawróceni na "obcość". Teza psychomanipulacyjna jako ideologiczne narzędzie neutralizacji wpływu apostatów(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2009) Kaczmarek, KamilThe contact of zealous believers of the dominant religious groups with the members of minor religious groups is connected with experiencing strangeness in the religious sphere of values. The most frequent extreme antagonistic reaction in this situation is labelling a given group as "a sect". However, this concept for quite a long time has functioned in close relation (almost of a character of diallelus) with accusations of using mind control and brain washing. In the article I present the history of this accusation and the discussion it provoked among researchers (mainly in the USA), which showed its pseudoscientific character and led to the exclusion from court practice. I am trying to indicate the source of vitality of the mini control thesis starting with the phenomenological conception of social consciousness of P.L. Berger and the concept of the dominant nomas. This perspective explains why converts of new religions are treated differently from its traditional followers as they are not only heretics (from hairesis - choice), but are also apostates, they have not only chosen a different religion, but they have chosen it, rejecting the old commonly accepted one.Item Posnaniensia Bibliographica Selecta(Księgarnia Św. Wojciecha, 2000) Kaczmarek, KamilItem Prasocjologia świętego Tomasza z Akwinu(WT UAM, 1999) Kaczmarek, Kamil; Kozyr-Kowalski, StanisławItem Sekty jako problem socjotechniczny(Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, 2006) Kaczmarek, KamilItem Socjologia a religie. Współczynnik humanistyczny jako narzędzie wartościowania w pismach Ericha Fromma(Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza, Wydział Teologiczny, 2003) Kaczmarek, KamilThe first aim of this work is to describe the general theory of religion presented in the books of Erich Fromm. Particularly those elements of it that stand between the domains of philosophy, psychology and especially sociology of religion. It has been focused on his general theory of religion, useful to find out a solution to a problem of fundamental theology and other practical disciplines: how to value different religious phenomena from the over-confessional perspective. The scientific evaluation is required to overcome an ideological egalitarianism, i.e. an approach assuming that all religions are equal. The conception of Erich Fromm is treated here as a proposal of the instrument, which can be used for it and simultaneously that cannot be charged of the confessional bias. After Florian Znaniecki and Stanisław Kozyr-Kowalski we call this instrument a „humanistic coefficient". In the consecutive chapters separated elements of this theoretical instrument are described: the scientifically simplified Fromm's anthropology (chapter II), his concept of religion (chapter III) and his conception of the influence of various religions on human personality. The additional result of this work was that an unnoticed source of Fromm's thought is Herbert Spencer's sociology. Spencer's influence on Fromm can be seen in latter's key theory of social character. Frequent opposition in Fromm's writing: authoritarian vs. humanistic is an exact equivalent of Spencer's opposition: militant vs. industrial. It is worth noticing that term productive", which Fromm used interchangeably with „humanistic" is a precise translation of the old-English word industrial". Both thinkers agreed that Christianity in Europe is for the main part only a surface under which ancient pagan beliefs, e.g. Heroworship, nation-worship are hidden. Not always are Fromm's ideas better than Spencer's. In psychology and social psychology that is the case, however in sociology (e.g. sociology of religion) Fromm's ideas are considerable simplifications in comparison to Spencer's. Especially Spencer's dichotomic typology of industrial vs. militant, in the application to religion is a much more interesting theoretical tool than that of Fromm. The simplifications arose from practical rather than theoretical purposes of Fromm's works. Generally, Fromm's works on religion showed that the scientific valuation of religion is possible (even if his trial is not fully convincing) and that the egalitarian relativism is not the only solution. Naturally on a more sophisticated level any valuation by humanistic coefficient has to be relative, i.e. must take into account a different influence of different elements of different religions on different individuals in different conditions. This kind of approach, which lays stress on differences but doesn't stop at the statement of differentiation we call the relationism as distinguished from relativism which it oppose and overcomes.Item Wspólnota Kunddaliniego.
