The Return of Religion in France

From Democratisation to Postmetaphysics

Beschreibung

The author examines how social change and philosophical crisis in the 1980s created the conditions for the return of religion to contemporary French intellectual life. It highlights a critical conjuncture in recent French history when religion was revitalized in French secularism as an expression of individual identity.

Rezensionen

'This rich and impressively broad-ranging book does live up to its interdisciplinary billing, and succeeds in making its powerful case: it is a myth that secular modernity represents the end of religion, and a misconception that it excludes religious belief.' - Christopher Watkin, Murray Edwards College, Cambridge, French Studies
