ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on an aspect of the dilemmas regarding Jurger Habermas' postsecular thesis. It is important to see that, notwithstanding the inclusive attitude of the postsecular thesis towards religious traditions in conditions of modernity, Habermas subscribes to a reformulated version of the secularization theory. With regard to Habermas' postsecular thesis, it is his remnant secularism that prevents him from a more radical understanding of the consequences implied by the evolving postsecular consciousness. Therefore, not only the sociological aspects of the postsecular thesis, but also the basic philosophical framework of Habermas’ programmes regarding the problems of postsecular consciousness is designed on the basis of a post-Enlightenment vision. The principal idea behind this recontextualization programme is that it provides an appropriate method for dealing theoretically with the interconnectedness between complex cultural and social processes, without denying their differences.
