Book Review: A Sociable God: A Brief Introduction to a Transcendental Sociology

The Sociology of Religion is trapped in rationalization, says Wilbur. It describes religion in its archaic, magical, mythic and rational expressions, but inattends religious developments that reach higher levels. Confronted by the data of higher stages of religious developments, sociologists resort to reductionism. Psychologists do the same in the face of mystic spirituality. Wilbur's concern is not merely to critique the sociology of religion (which he does sympathetically) but to sketch the outlines of a discipline that is both critical and normative. Such a discipline can emerge from creative collaboration between the sociology of religion and the psychology of religion once both fields become open to the new field of consciousness research.
