a theory of religion in Jürgen Habermas

The twentieth century was strongly marked by the phenomenon of secularization, however, it ended with a renewed interest in religion, which extends to the current century. The debate on the presence of religion in the public sphere takes into account the implications of the secularization process and the intention of privatizing religion as a further development of this process. Thinking religion beyond secularism and the role it plays in post-metaphysical society still remains an open issue, with many interpreters and significant contributions from thinkers of the stature, for example, Jürgen Habermas. It is for this purpose that the work “A Theory of Religion in Jürgen Habermas”, by Flávio Telles Melo, reaches the knowledge of the general public, raising him to the status of interpreter of Habermasian thought in the Brazilian scenario. Further deepening and reflections will be possible with the reading of the aforementioned, and it is not appropriate here to present the themes addressed by the author.
