| Summary: | This paper intends to show how the "revival of the religious" does not so much signify a return of universal religions, but rather a "dissemination" or "decomposition" of these into countless mystical-exoteric mutations that lead to a "customized religion". Materialism, nihilism, and individualism characteristic of postmodern culture and society contribute to the creation of a "private religion" where all religious experience is relegated to the private realm of individual consciousness. Undoubtedly, this pseudo-religious postmodern context poses a challenge for the major traditional religious institutions, which will need to respond with sufficient adaptability to the "accelerated mobility of change" imposed by postmodern societies. La pretensión de este artículo consiste en mostrar cómo el "revival de lo religioso" no significa tanto un retorno de las religiones universales, sino, más bien, una "diseminación" o "descomposición" de éstas en un sinfín de mutaciones místico-exotéricas que conducen a una "religión a la carta". El materialismo, el nihilismo y el individualismo propio de la cultura y de la sociedad posmoderna contribuyen a generar una "religión privada" donde toda experiencia religiosa queda relegada al ámbito privado de la conciencia individual. Sin duda, este contexto pseudo-religioso posmoderno supone un desafío para las grandes instituciones religiosas tradicionales, que deberán responder con suficiente capacidad de adaptación a la "movilidad acelerada de cambio" que imponen las sociedades posmodernas. |
