NOTES ON SECULARISM AND POST-SECULARISM IN HABERMAS

Abstract

The article presents Habermas’ growing interest in the theme of religion based on the notions of secularism and post-secularism. Returning to fundamental aspects of Habermas’s theory of religion, it is highlighted that the passage from secularism to post-secularism unveiled new thematic axes of his thought, with the post-secular paradigm not being a counterpoint to the post-metaphysical and secular horizon of modernity, but to its secularist self-understanding.

Keywords: Habermas. Secularism. Post-secularism.
