This book compares three approaches to public reason and to the
public space accorded to religions: the liberal platform of an
overlapping consensus proposed by John Rawls, Jurgen Habermas's
discourse ethical reformulation of Kant's universalism and its
realization in the public sphere, and the co-founding role which
Paul Ricoeur attributes to the particular traditions that have
shaped their cultures and the convictions of citizens. The premises
of their positions are analysed under four aspects: (1) the
normative framework which determines the specific function of
public reason; (2) their anthropologies and theories of action; (3)
the dimensions of social life and its concretization in a
democratic political framework; (4) the different views of religion
that follow from these factors, including their understanding of
the status of metaphysical and religious truth claims, and the role
of religion as a practice and conviction in a pluralist society.
Recent receptions and critiques in English and German are brought
into conversation: philosophers and theologians discuss the scope
of public reason, and the task of translation from faith
traditions, as well as the role they might have in the diversity of
world cultures for shaping a shared cosmopolitan horizon.
