Jonathan VanAntwerpen & Craig Calhoun 
Habermas and Religion [EPUB ebook] 

Soporte

To the surprise of many readers, Jürgen Habermas has recently
made religion a major theme of his work. Emphasizing both
religion’s prominence in the contemporary public sphere and its
potential contributions to critical thought, Habermas’s engagement
with religion has been controversial and exciting, putting much of
his own work in fresh perspective and engaging key themes in
philosophy, politics and social theory.
Habermas argues that the once widely accepted hypothesis of
progressive secularization fails to account for the multiple
trajectories of modernization in the contemporary world. He calls
attention to the contemporary significance of ‘postmetaphysical’
thought and ‘postsecular’ consciousness – even in Western societies
that have embraced a rationalistic understanding of public
reason.
Habermas and Religion presents a series of original and
sustained engagements with Habermas’s writing on religion in the
public sphere, featuring new work and critical reflections from
leading philosophers, social and political theorists, and
anthropologists. Contributors to the volume respond both to
Habermas’s ambitious and well-developed philosophical project and
to his most recent work on religion. The book closes with an
extended response from Habermas – itself a major statement from one
of today’s most important thinkers.
