Description: Étienne Balibar explores the tensions between cosmopolitanism and secularism in order to advance a truly democratic and emancipatory cosmopolitanism, which requires a secularization of secularism. Going beyond circumscribed notions of religion and the public sphere, Secularism and Cosmopolitanism is a profound rethinking of identity and difference.
Review Quotes: Baliber's writing on religion and politics contains remarkable insights for scholars working on secular ethics and contemporary religious quarrels.-- "Publishers Weekly"
