Abstract

بررسى هاى کنونى در خصوص سلامت و دین, قلمرو بسیار وسیعى را به خود اختصاص داده است. جمع رو به افزایشى از متخصصان بهداشت, به این حوزه روى آورده اند و آهنگ تحقیق, شتاب زیادى به خود گرفته است. همان گونه که در فصل هاى گذشته3 روشن کردیم, تحقیقات مزبور بر افرادى از اقشار مختلف جامعه که دغدغه هاى بهداشتى گوناگونى دارند متمرکز شده اند. در این صورت, چه چیزى درباره روابط چشم گیر بهداشت و ایمان آموخته ایم؟ مؤلفان این کتاب از دیدگاه هاى متعددى به این مسئله پرداخته اند و بر برخى از پیش رفت هاى امیدبخش آن که مربوط به پیامدهاى ویژه بهداشت جسم و روان است, تأکید کرده اند. به طور کلى, کیفیت تحقیقات به تدریج پیچیده تر شده است. اما بى تردید بسیارى از پرسش هاى اساسى باقى مى مانند. بنابراین, گرچه ما رفته رفته با ابعاد خاصى از دین یا معنویت که مرتبط با ابعاد ویژه اى از بهداشت اند, آشناتر شده ایم, اما این که این رابطه ها از چه اهمیتى برخوردارند, براى چه افرادى بیشترین اهمیت را دارند, و چگونه باید آنها را تبیین کنیم, هم چنان امورى سردر گم کننده و مشاجره آمیزاند. با توجه به وضعیت کنونى علم, به کجا خواهیم رسید؟ در این مقاله به ارائه خلاصه برخى از مضامین فصل هاى گذشته مى پردازیم و برخى از موضوعات مهم و شایان ذکر را, به همین ترتیبى که این رشته به پیش مى رود, دنبال مى کنیم. از آن جایى که برخى از فصل هاى گذشته به ملاحظات روش شناختى پرداخته اند (یعنى چگونه ارتباط ایمان و سلامت را مى توان به شکل دقیق ترى مورد بررسى قرار داد), در این مقاله بر خلأهاى موجود در این نوشته ها تأکید مى کنیم (یعنى چه حوزه هایى را مى توان به شکل اثربخش ترى مورد مطالعه قرار داد).
