Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:What an actor does on the stage is condi- tioned by the role he is playing. In the same way, what most people do and think and what they think they can and can- not do: their picture of the world is de- termined by the limitations of the role they play, whether it be that of an advertis- ing man, an Episcopalian minister, a high school teacher, a suburban wife, or what- have-you. THE PRECARIOUS VISION is a highly original and uninhibited sociolo- gist's look at i) this substantial element of role-playing and fictitiousness in modem society, 2) the Church's involvement in these fictions, and 3) the way in which the social scientist's perception of them clears the ground for the apprehension of the Christian faith. Parts i) and 2) are the major part of the book and are illustrated with lengthy fictional case-histories and pieces.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
