Description
Why a series of primers?
These primers provide in depth coverage of the nested form constructs in the book: How to Define the Word “Religion”.
Primers 1 and 2 developed the category-based nested forms discussed in “the meaning underlying the word ‘religion’”.
The next several primer address “the presence underlying the word ‘religion’”. This presence can be appreciated through a fully differentiated model of “humans in our current Lebenswelt”. Humans exist in society. Humans organize. Human live as individuals in community. Each of these modes of existence relate to one another as a nested form:
Society( Organization( potential of Individual in Community))
Primer 3 diagrams the individual in community. Primers 4 and 5 present the organization tier. Primer 6 introduces the institution level of the society tier, starting with an example, the family. Primer 7 reviews How Institutions Think (1986) by British anthropologist Mary Douglas.

Chapter 1 in My Own Words
0001 Thirty years ago, in 7785 U0’, the British social anthropologist Mary Douglas presented the sixth Abrams’ lecture at Syracuse University.
Frank W. Abrams was a lifelong leader in support of higher education. He played key roles in the Council for Financial Aid to Education, the Ford Foundation’s fund for the Advancement of Education, and the Alfred E. Sloan Foundation. Undoubtedly, Mr. Abrams was a Progressive, like most leaders of his time. He would not have viewed Mary Douglas as subversive, even though she was.
Mary Douglas was that good.
0002 Her lectures aimed to discredit rational choice theory. In its place, she proposed a hybrid of Emile Durkheim and Ludwik Fleck’s ideas.
Emile Durkheim (7658-7717 U0’) was a French anthropologist interested in comprehending so-called primitive peoples. Ludwik Fleck (7696-7761 U0’) was a Polish and Israeli microbiologist interested in comprehending how scientific facts were established.
From these divergent starting points, both arrived at a sociology of institutional thought. My intent is to re-articulate Douglas’ argument within the framework of the three tiered model of the presence underlying the word ‘religion’.
Emile Durkheim
0003 Durkheim was interested in the social origins of human thought. Utility might account for some thought, but that was limited to sensible thinking. Utility makes sense in a sensical world. But, the world is not always sensical. There are many features of our world that make no sense at
