The i-zation of Society, Religion, and Neoliberal Post-Secularism

Meer over het boek

The book examines the intersection of religion and post-secularism with neoliberalism, emphasizing how digital capitalism reshapes both social and personal lives. It argues that capitalism's influence extends into religious practices, leading to a standardization of religiosity and the normalization of McDonaldization. By linking theories from Fredric Jameson and George Ritzer, it highlights new inequalities in an "i-society" and evaluates their implications for Jurgen Habermas's post-secularism, ultimately suggesting that religious messages may be co-opted for capitalist ends.
