Description
The tension between naturalism and religion is a central theme in this major new philosophical work by Jürgen Habermas. On one hand, he argues for an appropriate naturalistic understanding of cultural evolution that respects the normative character of the human mind. On the other hand, he calls for an interpretation of the secularizing effects of social and cultural rationalization. Habermas explores the enduring importance of religion in a world increasingly shaped by postmetaphysical reason. He examines the limits of secularism under these conditions and discusses the political significance of religious tolerance. This book offers a fresh contribution to current debates on cosmopolitanism and international society, shedding new light on the complex relationships between culture, reason, and faith. Through his philosophical essays, Habermas seeks to navigate the challenges posed by the intersection of naturalistic worldviews and religious orthodoxies in our age.
