The Post Secular City : The New Secularization Debate “The Post Secular City” is the first attempt to systematically map and assess the recent debate about secularization.“The Post Secular City” examines the alleged shift from a “secular” to a “post secular” dispensation from the perspective of the ongoing de construction of the secularization “theorem” (as Hans Blumenberg called it). Accordingly the new secularization debate is described as being polarized between the “de constructors” and the “maintainers” of the standard thesis of secularization. This is the assumption underlying an ambitious effort to map the field which consists of a long introduction where “secularization” is analyzed as a deeply problematic concept of process and of eight chapters in which several protagonists of the recent debate are discussed as crucial junctions of a multidisciplinary conversation.
