| Summary: | This essay discusses the relevance of the post- and decolonial approach to the debate on post secularization and post secularism. The essay will analyze how their critique of the secularization thesis and of the secularist political project - as result of a Western-centered account of modernity - questions the validity of the category of post-secularization as a heuristic tool as well as the legitimacy of a post-secularist political project. The essay will close with a reflection on how the post- and decolonial critique may give a relevant contribution to the current debates on democratic pluralism and on the presence of religious identities in the public sphere by deconstructing some crucial underlying assumption, beginning with the very notion of religion. |
