Fundamentalism tends to conceive the reconstruction of the world through a vision which turns towards the past and which does not accept social and individual emancipation and change. Ideologically, it is anti-modern but at the same time it takes on board some of the most crucial aspects of modernity.
Religious fundamentalism means that a given faith has to be lived to the full, free from compromises and restrictions. It presupposes that the doctrine occupies the central position in religion rather than the rites and that the doctrine can be set out with exactitude.
This volume seeks on the one hand to explain social fundamentalism and on the other to analyse whether fundamentalist tendencies can be identified in young people. It is an exploratory work which aims to discover where a section of European youth is going and which calls for reflections on the claims for identity from cultural areas that were previously silent.
