About The Book
Endorsements
‘Rees’s monograph is a critical account of Habermas’s writings on religion and the idea of postsecularism in his work. It is comprehensive in scope, rich in texture and replete with insights. Rees’s scholarship and critical engagements with the material are exemplary in their clarity and concision; scholars and students who want to know about Habermas’s late work have reason to read this book.’
