Trends of secularism in a pluralistic world
319 p.
- One of the most striking mutations ocurring in our complex societies is one that affects the traditional relations between so-called 'secularism' and the religious confessions. During the last centuries in the West, these relations have been tense and conflictive. Currently, this relationship is taking on new forms that, moreover, extend to broader and more multifaceted scenarios. This work covers some of these changes, which manifest the enormous plurality of this long relationship. This book brings together a group of experts from Europe, USA and Australasia who, from their respective fields, whether historical, legal or sociological, have investigated the most controversial aspects of this complex reality.
