Tracing the changes in the objectives and the projects of the members of our association, the purpose of this lecture is not to retain a nostalgia for the past but to propose new types of research in line with our history. Even if we may rejoice in the work done – the extension of the religious field studied, the development of paradigms, the use of a more sophisticated methodology and the internationalization of our work – an important research theme is missing. We need to study other meaning systems than those elaborated by religions, since in different parts of the world the impact of religion is declining on the societal and individual levels. Are people searching for meaning in their life? What are their sources of meaning? How should we study methodologically the present search for meaning?
