Description
Jürgen Habermas has recently revitalised his work by exploring the significance of religion in contemporary society. This collection of essays presents new and original responses to Habermas's writing on the role of religion in the public sphere, featuring contributions from leading philosophers, social theorists, and anthropologists. Habermas argues that traditional views of secularisation are no longer tenable, and instead highlights the importance of "postmetaphysical" thought and "postsecular" consciousness. This book provides a unique opportunity to engage with Habermas's work on religion in depth, and to explore the implications of his ideas for philosophy, politics, and social theory. The volume closes with an extended response from Habermas himself, offering further insight into his thoughts on this critical topic.
