This book offers the first in-depth treatment in English language
of Habermas's long-awaited work on religion, Auch eine Geschichte
der Philosophie, published in 2019. Charting the contingent origins
and turning points of occidental thinking through to the current
"postmetaphysical" stage, the two volumes provide striking insights
into the intellectual streams and conflicts in which core
components of modern self-understanding have been forged. The
encounter of Greek metaphysics with biblical monotheism has led to
a theology of history as salvation, expanding in bold arcs from
Adam's Fall to Christ and the Last Judgement. The reconstruction of
key turns in the relationship between faith and knowledge ends,
however, with locating the uniqueness of religion in "ritual" and
defining reason as inherently secular. The book exposes the sources
and trajectories, analysed by Habermas with great erudition, to
different assessments in biblical studies, theology, and philosophy
of subjectivity. Apart from Paul and Augustine, key lines of
continuity are identified in the Gospels, early patristic theology,
Duns Scotus and Schleiermacher that retain the internal connection
of faith to autonomous freedom.
