| Summary: | Biographical note: Kocku von Stuckrad, Universität Groningen, Niederlande. Biographical note: Kocku von Stuckrad, University of Groningen, The Netherlands. The enigmatic relation between religion and science still presents a challenge to European societies and to ideas about what it means to be ‘modern.’ This book argues that secularism, rather than pushing back religious truth claims, in fact has been religiously productive itself. A historical analysis demonstrates that religious discourses have been reconfigured in the secular sciences, thus prolonging the relevance of religion in new constellations. |
