What is the place of religion in a pluralist democracy? The
continuous presence of religion in the public sphere has raised
anew normative and practical issues related to the role of religion
in a democratic polity, generating spirited political debates in
Western and non-Western contexts. Contemporary Political Philosophy
and Religion provides an advanced introduction to, and a critical
appraisal of, the major schools of political thought with a focus
on the relationship between democracy and religion. Key features of
this book include: Analyses of different political traditions:
liberalism, republicanism, deliberative democracy, feminism,
postmodernism, multiculturalism, and interculturalism; Critical
discussions of key contemporary philosophers, such as John Rawls,
Jurgen Habermas, Richard Rorty, Charles Taylor, Susan Moller Okin,
Martha Nussbaum, Will Kymlicka, Chandran Kukathas, and Bhiku
Parekh; A pluralist approach that questions the strict divide
between analytical and continental political philosophy; Discussion
on the place of religion in politics from multiple perspectives by
drawing on a plurality of political contexts, both Western and
non-Western; Analyses of legal and political cases related to
different religious traditions, for example, Islam, Confucianism,
Buddhism, Christianity, and Hinduism. This comprehensive text will
be of great use to students of religion and politics in the fields
of political and legal theory, and religious and theological
studies, while also offering critical insights and arguments that
will be of interest to the experts in the field.
