The Secular Outlook: In Defense of Moral and Political Secularism Paperback - 2010
by Paul Cliteur
From the rear cover
Using a variety of thought-provoking arguments, The Secular Outlook: In Defense of Moral and Political Secularism argues for a "secular outlook" on society and politics to meet the challenges of religious extremism in the twenty-first century. Unlike the highly polemical writings of authors such as Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens, philosopher Paul Cliteur does not vociferously defend atheism - but neither does he defend theism. Instead, he reveals how religious believers and non-believers can live together peacefully by pointing to principles that the state should use to stimulate its citizenry to achieve social harmony and social cohesion. With chapters on atheism, religious criticism, free speech, and moral secularism, Cliteur offers a perspective that is in the interest of all citizens of multireligious and liberal democracies. Timely and stimulating, The Secular Outlook offers a surprisingly optimistic view on the social and political challenges we face in the increasingly complex contemporary world.
