Description
Summary:Biographical note: Maureen Junker-Kenny, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland.
The role of religious self-understandings as resources for the normative foundations of democracy is much debated in social and political ethics, theology and law. The comparison of the positions of Rawls, Habermas and Ricoeur highlights alternative conceptions of the premises of “public reason” and of religion. Recent philosophical and theological receptions and critiques in English and German are brought into conversation.
