| Abstract: | This thesis is concerned with the sociological analysis of lower class religious organizations in Japan. The analysis centres on the Soka Gakkai (Value Creation Society). An attempt is made to relate this group to the process of modernization in Japan. Within the context of Japanese society, it will be contended that the Soka Gakkai is basically a response to modernization — a response which is not without its equivalents in other modern societies. |
