Abstract
The phenomenon of religious orders - encompassed by the term "consecrated life" - is a crucial area of investigation in the sociology of religion. In this respect, Christian monasticism constitutes a form of utopian community on the border between the goal of escaping from the world and establishing a profound relationship with it. Specifically, in the analysis of religious asceticism, there are several fundations issues to be considered. The first is the organization of individual' daily lives, both externally and internally.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
