Overview

""The Post-Secular City"" is the first attempt to systematically map and assess the recent debate about secularization. ""The Post-Secular City"" examines the alleged shift from a ""secular"" to a ""post-secular"" dispensation from the perspective of the ongoing de-construction of the secularization ""theorem"" (as Hans Blumenberg called it). Accordingly, the new secularization debate is described as being polarized between the ""de-constructors"" and the ""maintainers"" of the standard thesis of secularization. This is the assumption underlying an ambitious effort to map the field, which consists of a long introduction where ""secularization"" is analyzed as a deeply problematic concept-of-process and of eight chapters in which several protagonists of the recent debate are discussed as crucial junctions of a multidisciplinary conversation.
