Modernization in Western Europe is, according to Max Weber, based upon the rationnal spirit by Protestantism, forced by the rational, purpose-oriented attitudes in life which does not admit even incantation. According to this inductive study for "an ideal type", the shamanism is nothing but a momentary transition of relief, therefore, it cannot possibly bring about the rational, purpose-oriented attitudes in life towards any radical reforms. But in Korea, modernizing itself rapidly from 1970's to today, the shamanism cannot necessarily be assumed to be thoroughly broken down. Some conclusions in this thesis are in order; 1. According to "the traditional belief about succession of the shaman as profession" by Chijun Murayama, the temporal revision of the modernization of <traditional→rational> can be seen everywhere we investigated. 2. The shape of temporal transition changes variously in accordance of the space because <the meaning> in that people find in the exorcism by the main callings in particular regions. 3. The aspects of the change in shamanism can be captured this shift. This is the changing of the religious goal, and moreover, within this can be said to be based upon the rationalism by modernization. Therefore, such a cultural phenomenon of the shamanism may be said not to cease to exist but to modulate its functions in various ways as the modernization process proceeds.
