Secular Religion

Meer over het boek

Kelsen's "Secular Religion" presents a robust defense of modern science against critiques likening it to failed religion, particularly targeting views held by his former student Eric Voegelin. The book argues that contemporary movements towards de-secularization and a resurgence of theologization pose risks of totalitarianism. Originally withdrawn from publication for a decade, this work now sheds light on Kelsen's critical perspective, making it a significant contribution to ongoing debates about the relationship between religion, science, and society.
