Introduction: Argumentation The concept of "post-secular society" came into the sociological discussion from a mostly philosophical discussion of the work of Jurgen Habermas1 on rationality and religion in modern society. The philosophical discussion of religion in the modern period has had a major impact on how sociologists think about the subject of their study. Of course, it is sometimes difficult to draw a clear line between social theory and social philosophy, and therefore there is always some overlap between sociology and the philosophy of religion. In the past, among the participants in this interplay of philosophy and sociology, there have been significant figures - such as Alasdair MacIntyre, Ernest Gellner, and Peter Winch - who have, so to speak, belonged to both camps. In recent discussions about the role of religion in public life, the parameters for discussing the future of religion have been set not by sociologists, but by philosophers and theologians. I am referring, in addition to Habermas, to the contributions of Richard Rorty, Charles Taylor, Gianni Vattimo and Jacques Derrida. Although it is the philosophers who have raised the main questions about the place of religion in clearly secular societies, I will take a critical stance on how they characterize religion, while keeping in mind that they ignore the role of religion in the world.- Оригинал см.: Turner B.
