Why Politics Needs Religion: The Place of Religious Arguments in the Public Square

Why Politics Needs Religion: The Place of Religious Arguments in the Public Square

Brendan Sweetman

Können sich Religion und Politik vermischen? Viele Stimmen antworten: „Auf keinen Fall!“ Doch in diesem provokanten und zeitgemäßen Buch argumentiert Brendan Sweetman gegen diesen Vorwurf und die verschiedenen raffinierten Argumente, die ihn stützen.

Während wir Zeugen des Aufeinanderprallens religiöser und säkularer Weltanschauungen werden, behauptet er, dass unserer pluralistischen demokratischen Gesellschaft am besten gedient sei, wenn die Glaubenselemente des Säkularismus anerkannt würden und die rationalen Elemente religiöser Argumente in die bedeutsamen Debatten im öffentlichen Raum einfließen dürften. Tatsächlich behauptet Sweetman, dass „Politik Religion braucht, wenn sie wirklich demokratisch sein soll, sich um Gerechtigkeit zwischen den Weltanschauungen, Gleichheit und eine lebhafte öffentliche Diskussion kümmern will.“
