Identified by the author as a “religious axis,” the period of convergence promoted rational and empirical investigation, enabled the development of diverse religious beliefs, and affirmed religious liberty and expressions amidst pluralist politics. The author shows that the religious axis’ three philosophical foundations—epistemic, axiological, and political—undergird the political architecture of American liberal democracy that designed a containment structure to protect a vast array of religious expressions and encourage their presence in the public square. Moreover, the structure embodied a democratic ethos that drives religious and political pluralism—but within limits. The author argues that this containment structure has paradoxically ignited frenzied fires of faith that politically threaten the structure’s own limits. . | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | 关键词 | liberal democracy; religion and public policy; Axial Period; Karl Jaspers; religious axis; religious plur | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-33974-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-33976-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-33974-6Series ISSN 2731-6769 Series E-ISSN 2731-6777 | issn_series | 2731-6769 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2020 |
