The emergence and spread of contemporary spirituality are currently amongst the most discussed themes in European religious research. The present social empirical study in Austria by Franz Höllinger and Thomas Tripold is devoted to the socalled “holistic milieu” that is said to be a great source of generation for new spirituality. Significant weight is attached to the question of to what extent the spiritual ideas have their roots in the actors’ biographical experiences and thus become part of their lifestyle.The book starts with a roughly one-hundred-page overview of the way the subject under investigation can be slotted into present-day religious research. To this end, the sociological literature on the peculiarities and delimitations of the “holistic milieu” is shown in some detail, referring to the characteristic beliefs and the relation of the “holistic milieu” to the concept of new religious movements. The authors then address existing attempts to explain the emergence of the “holistic milieu,” looking to historical, socio-philosophical, and psychological approaches in search of explanations.
