To the surprise of many readers, Jurgen 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.
