Abstract

In the midst of the increasing antagonism between religion and secularity, the sacred and the profane, faith and reason - currently described in terms of 'the clash of civilizations' - is religion any longer relevant or meaningful in the globalizing development of modern subjectivity, inter-subjectivity, family, society, state and history? If so, how and to what end? This book gives expression to the research of international scholars as they wrestled with these issues during the Future of Religion courses held at the Inter-university Center in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
