Dieses Buch umfasst zwei Arbeiten: eine Masterarbeit über den Glauben der AA-Mitglieder an Gott und deren Übereinstimmung mit der christlichen Tradition sowie einen Artikel über religiösen Relativismus. Die empirische Studie nutzt phänomenologische Methoden, um Gemeinsamkeiten zu untersuchen und bietet einen Rahmen für Hypothesenbildung.
Phenomenology and Epistemology of AA Member's beliefs
The first work explores the beliefs of Alcoholics Anonymous members regarding a Higher Power, employing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to uncover commonalities in their views. It seeks to establish a framework for testable hypotheses rather than a definitive theory. The second piece, a short article, examines these findings from an epistemological perspective, speculating on the implications of religious relativism and suggesting that deeper layers may exist that help AA members transcend religious and social divides.
