| Description | Paper deals with legal and philosophical approaches to evolution of modern state. While German legal philosopher Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde insists on pre-political foundations of modern state (some of them are related to Western Christianity and Enlightenment), there has always been strong secularist opposition to this view. Jürgen Habermas, one of most influential philosophers of last few decades, is one of them. As a secularist he turned increasingly toward questions of the role of religion in the public sphere. He introduced a concept of post-secular society, where despite high level of secularization still prevail religious interests that have not disappeared and in some regard even increased. |
