RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIOLOGY OF KNOWLEDGE AND SOCIOLOGY OF RELIGION

Summary/Abstract: Knowledge has existed at every stage of human life as a product of the mental activities and social interactions that human beings attempt to know themselves, to make sense of life and to control the environment. In this sense, knowledge is the result of both a need and a curiosity. Religious knowledge is probably the first kind of information that human beings resorted to in order to satisfy this need and curiosity. In fact, man's helplessness and fear in the face of natural events led him to believe in a supreme being that would free him from all his fears and instill confidence. In this article, the relationship between knowledge and religion will be examined sociologically in the historical process and the approaches of sociology of knowledge and sociology of religion by Peter L. Berger and T. Luckmann will be analyzed.
