Title: Beyond Secular Borders: Habermas's Communicative Ethic and the Need for Post-Secular Understanding
Abstract: This article investigates Habermas's communicative ethic in relation to changes in the roles of institutions and the state. I reference Alexy, Weber and Taylor, arguing that an artificial delimitation of the public sphere as disparate from the private or religious cramps the capacity of those identified as outsiders to communicate within it. I question the ability of public reason as Habermas has outlined it to meet the challenges it faces regarding interreligious dialogue and integration in democratic societies, and I suggest, instead, an approach more open to dialogue with religions in terms that are more comprehensible to them.
