Text Quotes
Hierarchy works well in a stable environment (Mary Douglas Quotes)
It’s unlikely that the organized religions will get more sectarian... or is it? I am not at all sure. (Mary Douglas Quotes)
The theory of cultural bias... is the idea that a culture is based on a particular form of organization. It can’t be transplanted except to another variant of that organization. (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Institutions have the pathetic megalomania of the computer whose whole vision of the world is its own program. (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Behind a leader there must be followers, but they should always be on the lookout for the main chance and ready to change sides if the current leader doesn’t deliver. (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Our technological infrastructure alienates us from each other. No need to form a workplace community, everybody there will be out in a year or two, and so will you, looking for a better place (Mary Douglas Quotes)
If you want to change the culture, you will have to start by changing the organization (Mary Douglas Quotes)
It seems true that the growth of science and secularism made organized Christianity feel under threat (Mary Douglas Quotes)
It is only partly true that religion does more harm than good in society. The community makes God into the image it wants, vengeful, or milky sweet, or scrupulously just, and so on (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Pretensions to moral superiority are devastatingly destructive (Mary Douglas Quotes)
The human body is always treated as an image of society (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Islam is in principle egalitarian, and has always had problems with power (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Hierarchy is is much reviled in the present day (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Any great organization can go through sectarian phases (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Every year the progress of advanced capitalist society makes our population consist of more and more isolates. This is because of the infrastructure of the economy, especially electronic communications (Mary Douglas Quotes)
I have increasingly, over the years, felt that religion today does our civilization more harm than good (Mary Douglas Quotes)
If people want to compete for leadership of a religious group, they can compete in piety. A chilling thought. Or funny (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Inequality can have a bad downside, but equality, for its part, sure does get in the way of coordination (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Just in our lifetime our society has become looser and more private, it becomes extremely difficult to hold to any permanent commitment whatever, least of all to organized religion (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Mormons... are so strong, they can handle wealth, they are confident. I think it is because they are not bogged down by rules for equality, but have a firmly defined system of relative status and responsible command (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Real equality is immensely difficult to achieve, it needs continual revision and monitoring of distributions. And it does not provide buffers between members, so they are continually colliding or frustrating each other (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Religion can make it worse. Are you supposing that if people were encouraged to believe in a transcendent reality, and to be encouraged by grand rituals and music and preaching, to love their neighbors, then they would put jealousy and frustration aside? (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Since 1970, relationships can be more volatile, jobs more ephemeral, geographical mobility more intensified, stability of marriage weaker (Mary Douglas Quotes)
What did our nation ever do to provoke these madly vicious enemies? What is seen as injustice in one place is seen as just requital in the other (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Where there is dirt there is system. Dirt is the byproduct of a systematic ordering and classification of matter (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Without the letters of condolence, telegrams of congratulations, and occasional postcards, the friendship of a separated friend is not a social reality. It has no existence without the rites of friendship. Social rituals create a reality which would be nothing without them. It is not too much to say that ritual is more to society than words are to thought. For it is very possible to know something and then find words for it. But it is impossible to have social relations without symbolic acts (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Yes, disappointment over perceived unfairness, injustice, promises not kept, tends to go hand in hand with increasing prosperity. Expectations are dashed. What can I say! (Mary Douglas Quotes)
When we are reflecting on terrorism we can grieve for many things we do and have done (Mary Douglas Quotes)
The theory of cultural bias... is the idea that a culture is based on a particular form of organization. It can’t be transplanted except to another variant of that organization (Mary Douglas Quotes)
Some scholars have been arguing that a civilizational clash between organized religions is the next step in human history (Mary Douglas Quotes)
