| Summary: | The methodology of scientific research programmes, developed by Imre Lakatos, can help us to identify which theories are strong or weak. Applying this approach suggests that the secularization research programme is progressing, as Stolz argues. Some of the recent advances have been more successful than others, however. In particular, we have done better at understanding how secularization happens than why it happens. ßn4207 La méthodologie des programmes de recherche scientifique, développée par Imre Lakatos, peut nous aider à identifier les théories fortes ou faibles. L’application de cette approche suggère que le programme de recherche sur la sécularisation progresse, comme le soutient Stolz. Cependant, certaines des avancées récentes ont mieux réussi que d’autres. En particulier, nous avons mieux compris comment la sécularisation se produit que pourquoi elle se produit. |
