Poscritto a «Che cos’è la religione? La polisemia di un concetto contestato» di Charles Taylor

In this postscript, Charles Taylor’s lecture is discussed from three points of view. First, it is read against the background of a surprising feature of the new secularization debate: the semantic crisis of the concept of religion. Second, it is seen as an attempt to imagine religion as a field rather than as a well-demarcated object. Third, it is understood as a way of circumventing the modern rage for order and its anxiety-ridden rebounds.
