Religion and the Public Sphere
by Jürgen Habermas & Paolo Flores d'Arcais (translated by Yascha Mounk & Giacomo Donis)


The Utopian is very proud to present this fascinating debate between Jürgen Habermas and Paolo Flores d'Arcais, making Habermas' response to d'Arcais - in which he argues for religion's role in the public sphere with unprecedented vigour - available in English translation for the first time.


This exchange consists of three parts:

1. Paolo Flores d'Arcais' "Eleven Theses Against Habermas".

2. Jürgen Habermas' response, "Again Religion and the Public Sphere: a Response to Paolo Flores d'Arcais"

3. Paolo Flores d'Arcais' rejoinder to Habermas, "The Institutional and the Public Spheres"
