- Work cat.: 2011006590: Mohamed, Feisal G. Milton and the post-secular present, 2011:CIP data sheet (three major tendencies of post-secular thought: 1) a philosophy of religion that draws on both philosophical and religious metaphysics (John Milbank and Jacques Derrida); 2) an epistemology and ethics grounded in belief rather than in a dialectic of intuition and knowledge (Alain Badiou); and 3) a view of modernity that responds to the renewed and increasing relevance of religiosity (Jürgen Habermas)) CIP galley (post-secularity)
- King, M. Postsecularism, 2009:p. 4 of cover (out of the conflict between socially dominant secular thinkers and the embattled 'new defenders of the faith' a third approach arises which is neither a return to pre-Enlightenment beliefs nor a continued hegemony of the secular; the postsecular. It retains critical modes of thought and at the same time returns in all seriousness to questions of the spirit; a framework within which to move beyond religious and atheist extremism)
- Geoghegan, V. "Religious Narrative, Post-Secularism and Utopia," in The philosophy of utopia, 2001:p. 206 (Here post-secularism denotes an attempt to overcome the antinomy of secularism/religion in a manner which recognises the strengths and weaknesses of the two elements; a post-secularist perspective therefore betokens not a rejection of the secular, but a recognition that the achievements of the secular will not be lost by a more nuanced approach to religion)
- Stanford Enc. of Philosophy, viewed Feb. 14, 2011(Habermas uses the term 'post-secular age' to describe our current condition, in which the secularization hypothesis (that religion was destined to wither away under the impact of science and education) has apparently failed)
