摘要

20世纪60年代和70年代西方文化中出现的新时代精神被描述为对传统价值观的排斥，这是由于对基督教会的幻灭以及主流社会和工作环境中的疏离感。虽然新时代被描述为“背离”主流文化意识形态，但关于新时代演员在追求主观精神方面“转向”什么的讨论相对较少。来自澳大利亚的研究表明，当人们第一次从事新时代的追求时，他们主要是在寻找更深层次的意义和精神上的答案。此外，社会和代际传递都是培养新时代精神的重要因素。

New Age in Australia: Social transmission and the quest for meaning

The emergence of New Age spirituality in Western cultures during the 1960s and 1970s has been described as a rejection of traditional values, fuelled by disillusionment with the Christian church and a feeling of alienation in mainstream social and work environments. While New Age has been characterised as a ‘turning away’ from dominant cultural ideologies, there is comparatively less discussion about what New Age actors are ‘turning towards’ in their pursuit of subjective spirituality. Research from Australia demonstrates that individuals were primarily searching for deeper meaning and looking for spiritual answers when they first engaged with New Age pursuits. In addition, social and intergenerational transmission are both important factors in the cultivation of New Age spirituality.
