Between Naturalism and Religion – The Idea of Postsecular Society in Habermas’ Thought
Abstract
"The article is written as the introduction to Habermas’ views on mutual relation between reason and faith and to his idea of post-secular society. Its main aim is to reconstruct the main thesis of the author of “Theory of Communicative Action” and to grasp potential difficulties in his approach. According to Habermas secularization does not lead to the weakening of the religion and increase of the validity of religion does not threaten the process of secularization. Thus, including the fact that region and secular outlooks co-exist he tries to find the common background which enable the dialog between them. In order to do it he refers to the theory of deliberative constitutional state claiming that the common sense can play in the postsecular societies the role of the mediator between the science and religions’ point of view."
