Description

The global movement of culture and religion has brought about a serious challenge to traditional constitutional secularism.

This challenge comes in the form of a political and institutional struggle against secular constitutionalism, and a two pronged assault on the very legitimacy and viability of the concept.

On the one hand, constitutional secularism has been attacked as inherently hostile rather than neutral toward religion; and, on the other hand, constitutionalsecularism has been criticized as inevitably favouring one religion (or set of religions) over others. The contributors to this book come from a variety of different disciplines including law, anthropology, history, philosophy and political theory.

They provide accounts of, and explanations for, present predicaments; critiques of contemporary institutional, political and cultural arrangements, justifications and practices; and suggestions with a view to overcoming or circumventing several of the seemingly intractable or insurmountable current controversies and deadlocks. The book is separated in to five parts. Part I provides theoretical perspectives on the present day conflicts between secularism and religion.

Part II focuses on the relationship between religion, secularism and the public sphere.

Part III examines the nexus between religion, secularism and women's equality.

Part IV concentrates on religious perspectives on constraints on, and accommodations of, religion within the precincts of the liberal state.

Finally, Part V zeroes in on conflicts betweenreligion and secularism in specific contexts, namely education and freedom of speech.
