Is fundamentalism a result of a »collision of cultures?« How does it work? What is the reaction towards the modern, modified version? Does the purchasing of religious material play a part? What does complete fundamentalism mean?
Heinrich Wilhelm Schäfer developed an action-theory to understand fundamentalism based on two formal criteria: complete settling of oneself and a strategy of social dominance. The different, regional versions of modern fundamentalism often regard themselves as if to be excluded from the specific, strict requirements. Conservative fundamentalists strive to change these modern versions – not just simply nullify or ignore. Thereby transforming, from an advanced/higher social level, social-interest conflicts into identity conflicts.
