Abstract

This chapter uses Jurgen Habermas' controversial and contested term “post-secular” to examine how we, the citizens of the world, might live reasonably amicably in a globalized, conflict-ridden world where some form of religious decline has taken place, where globalization has disrupted this decline to some extent, and where religions do, in fact, undergo renewal in modernity. This chapter examines how we might deepen inter-faith dialogue as well as our understanding of how secular and non-secular citizens can speak openly and learn from and with each other.
