Until that time the topic of religion had not been a major concern in Habermas’s extensive oeuvre but he now began to speak of a postsecular age in which religion becomes a major topic in rethinking modernity and in meeting the challenge of religion in public life. This collection includes many of his most sophisticated interpreters and critics and Habermas, in his characteristic dialogical spirit, replies to each of his critics. Anyone seriously interested in the current state of the discussion about religion and public life will find this collection essential reading.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eRichard J.

This volume collects a number of very lively responses to these writings, many of them challenging Habermas in fairly sharp ways, and coming from those close to him, like Thomas McCarthy, and far from him, like John Milbank.

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.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  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.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eHabermas and Religion\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eList of Abbreviations vii\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEditors’ Introduction 1\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Rationalization, Secularisms, and Modernities\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Exploring the Postsecular: Three Meanings of “the Secular” and Their Possible Transcendence 27\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJosé Casanova\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Anxiety of Contingency: Religion in a Secular Age 49\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMaría Herrera Líma\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Is the Postsecular a Return to Political Theology? 72\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eMaría Pía Lara\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 An Engagement with Jurgen Habermas on Postmetaphysical Philosophy, Religion, and Political Dialogue 92\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNicholas Wolterstorff\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II The Critique of Reason and the Unfinished Project of Enlightenment\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The Burdens of Modernized Faith and Postmetaphysical Reason in Habermas’s “Unfinished Project of\u003cbr\u003e Enlightenment” 115\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThomas McCarthy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Having One’s Cake and Eating It Too: Habermas’s Genealogy of Postsecular Reason 132\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAmy Allen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Forgetting Isaac: Faith and the Philosophical Impossibility of a Postsecular Society 154\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eJ.
