Description
What an actor does on the stage is condi-
tioned by the role he is playing. In the
same way, what most people do and think
and what they think they can and can-
not do: their picture of the world is de-
termined by the limitations of the role
they play, whether it be that of an advertis-
ing man, an Episcopalian minister, a high
school teacher, a suburban wife, or what-
have-you.
THE PRECARIOUS VISION is a
highly original and uninhibited sociolo-
gist's look at i) this substantial element of
role-playing and fictitiousness in modem
society, 2) the Church's involvement in
these fictions, and 3) the way in which the
social scientist's perception of them clears
the ground for the apprehension of the
Christian faith. Parts i) and 2) are the
major part of the book and are illustrated
with lengthy fictional case-histories and
pieces.
