Postmetaphysics

A Socio-Philosophical Challenge to the Indian Religious Public Sphere

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Habermas' development of the concept of postmetaphysics does orient us to engage in a dialogue between faith and knowledge that contributes in dealing with religion in public sphere. This research is based on an enquiry that conscientizes one about the primordial intentionality of religion within sociological and philosophical categories that are expressed in a public sphere, especialliy in India. It aims at providing a discursive methodology in treating non-reflective expressions of religion such as religious extremism or violence based on fundamentalism, by exposing and accentuating the recapitulation of contemporary society towards the fundamental rational, reformative and emancipatory traditions of religion, which are gradually being lost or ignored. This is treated in a pluriformity of theories which propose the theory of translation to the Indian relgious society, wherein the possibility to present religious concepts in a secular language has been deciphered and established.
