Adam B. Seligman Ordre des livres
Adam B. Seligman explore l'interaction complexe entre la religion, la culture et la société, se concentrant sur la manière dont la foi se manifeste dans l'espace public et façonne la vie communautaire. Son travail aborde des questions profondes d'identité et d'expérience collective, s'appuyant souvent sur sa vaste expérience internationale. Seligman vise à comprendre comment diverses communautés naviguent les différences et les contentieux religieux. Son approche est à la fois analytique et pratique, cherchant à relier les perspectives académiques aux défis du monde réel de notre époque.

Evaluates modernity's wager, namely, the gambit to liberate the modern individual from external social and religious norms by supplanting them with the rational self as its own moral authority. This book argues that 'the fundamentalist doctrine of enlightened reason has called into being its own nemesis' in the forms of ethnic and racial politics. schovat popis
