| Summary: | The paper analyses from an historical point of view the current concepts of “secularization” and “post-secular society”. Last decades have shown the failure of the prophecy of the end of the relevance of religion in the public sphere. Far from being a necessary and irreversible trend, secularization - both the European duality between state and church (es) and theAmerican pluralistic “wall of separation” between state and religions - is the historical outcome of the religious wars in 16th century Europa and the self-redefinition of Christianity in front of them. Secularization is thus possible and effective only in presence of religious models grounded on a critical rationality which involves also religious beliefs. Otherwise, the authority principle combined with an instrumental rationality makes secularization ineffective. |
