Religion after Deliberative Democracy responds to gaps exposed by
the case of religion in deliberative democratic theory. Religion's
persistent visibility in political life has called for new
solutions for healing deeply divided societies. In response, the
author begins with Jeffrey Stout's pragmatist vision of democracy
before providing a series of supplements in subsequent chapters.
Past legacies are refigured in a rapprochement with Jurgen
Habermas's work which is differentiated from the distinctive
relevance of Hannah Arendt's Vita Activa. New developments in
comparative political theology are complemented by recent systems
theory approaches to institutional interactions. Peaceful protest
movements are reframed in light of the trust-building capacities of
minipublics. The result is reason for renewed confidence in
democratic practices attuned to fostering political plurality and
capable of responding to persistent religious partisanship. This
book fills a crucial space in the literature on religion and
democracy and will be of interest to students and scholars of
philosophy of religion, theology, pragmatism, and political theory.
