- A major new book by one of the leading philosophers and social
thinkers in the world today.

naturalistic views (exemplified by the rise of biogenetics), on the
one hand, and the rise of religious orthodoxies and revitalization
of religious traditions, on the other.
- Habermas develops a distinctive argument about the enduring
significance of religion in modern societies and the importance of
religious tolerance.
- Provides a fresh contribution to current debates on cosmopolitanism and a constitution for international society.
