Political secularization: a fourth route

Abstract

In the contemporary western world several secularization models have cohabited with direct implications on the relations between religious confessions and the public space of a political nature. Still, even the most welcoming of those models towards the religious sphere implicates, if only implicitly, a neutralization of the religious dynamics that needs to be questioned. The present article aims to question if those models are sufficient to shoulder, either man`s own autonomy, or the legitimate specifications of the political sphere, as well as to question how efficient  those same models are for an international political dialogue among actors who do not share the same rationales.
