La città post-secolare
by Costa Paolo
The secularization debate went through a big change during the last fifty years. Could this change be described as a paradigm shift? In this book the Author, after an introduction that deeply analyses the “secularization” concept, picks up and discusses several exemplary figures in the recent debate (H. Blumenberg, D. Martin, C. Taylor, H. Joas, T. Asad, M. Gauchet, J. Habermas, G. Vattimo).
Thus, Paolo Costa gives for the very first time, a systematic reconstruction of the changes and developments in this debate, ending in a real paradigm shift. The conclusion is however hesitant. It is unclear, Costa claims, whether this concept is still helpful to understand what is going on around us now and is in store for us in the near future.
