Secularism drawing its reasoning from Religion

The fulfillment and completion..of Enlightenment secularism has not happened. And there has been

a recent upturn of interest in religion and theology among contemporary continental philosophers.

 

 

 

And there is a certain irony involved in deconstruction's escape from the alleged conceptual

abstractions of metaphysics only to find itself advocating a set of religious abstractions and

formalisms, derived, but quite distant from, concrete traditions of faith. There is a serious

question here as to whether such views are not parasitic upon that residue of religious symbolism

from which they derive whatever vitality they possess.
