- Summary:
- Does religion have a place in the future of Western society? Author Marcel Gauchet reinterprets the development of the modern west in terms of mankind's changing relation to religion. Gauchet does not close the door on religion but rather invites us to explore its socially constructive powers, which continue to shape Western politics and conceptions of the state.
