What does it suggest for a society to be secular? Answering this query from a philosophical attitude, Radical Secularization? delves into the philosophical presuppositions of secularization. Which cultural evolutions made secularization attainable? overseas students from diversified disciplines determine the solutions given through many prime philosophers equivalent to, between others, Löwith, Blumenberg and Habermas (Germany), Gauchet and Nancy (France), Taylor and Bellah (North America). They learn the idea that secularization can't in simple terms be considered as a cultural switch that was once compelled upon faith from an external source (e.g. science), yet must also be regarded as a phenomenon caused by means of explanations internal to faith. If religions are certainly in a position to internal ameliorations, the query arises even if religions can persist within the secular societies they inadvertently helped to lead to, and the way secular societies may well accommodate religion.
