| Description | The 1970s were not only a period of turning points in relations between religion and modern society; they were also a time in which a conflict over the interpretation of the environmental crisis took place. Surprisingly, these seemingly dissimilar actions have many features in common and, in particular, a very similar outcome, which resists to its being placed within the traditional range of dichotomies of political philosophy: liberal v. conservative v. socialist; democratic v. totalitarian; progressive v. reactionary. What seemed, at the beginning at least, to be a revival of the conservative attitude in churches, a radicalisation of feminist theory or an attempt to place the environmental crisis into a wider context, resulted in all these cases in the victory of a new type of fundamentalism, which will not hesitate as Kepel testifies in religious groups, Abgrall in sects and Fox in feminism to employ any of the methods of much-hated modernity in order to revive a long-forgotten society of Order or Mother Earth. To put it simply, the utopian discourse of alternative groups changed significantly in the 1970s towards a very dangerous neo-fundamentalism. |
