A Polity Press lançou neste mês Habermas and Religion, um livro dedicado às relações entre a filosofia de Jürgen Habermas e as religiões. Craig Calhoun (LSE), Eduardo Mandieta (SUNY) e Jonathan VanAntwerpen (SSRC), organizaram os trabalhos sobre o tema apresentados em um simpósio de 2009 na Universidade de Nova Yorque. Desde a publicação de Between Naturalism and Religion: Philosophical Essays (publicado na Alemanha em 2005) as implicações da teoria razão comunicativa para o pluralismo religioso tem sido um importante objeto de discussão filosófica. Teria Habermas reformulado sua caracterização das sociedades pósmetafísicas frente a persistência das práticas religiosas?
Abaixo, uma entrevista do filósofo alemão a um dos editores do livro, a justificativa do prêmio Erasmus 2013 concedido a Habermas e o índice do livro (do blog Habermas and Rawls).
Habermas and Religion presents a series of original and sustained engagements with Habermas's writing on religion in the public sphere, featuring new work and critical reflections from leading philosophers, social and political theorists, and anthropologists.
Contributors to the volume respond both to Habermas's ambitious and well-developed philosophical project and to his most recent work on religion. The book closes with an extended response from Habermas.
