Description

Book Synopsis

The author examines how social change and philosophical crisis in the 1980s created the conditions for the return of religion to contemporary French intellectual life. It highlights a critical conjuncture in recent French history when religion was revitalized in French secularism as an expression of individual identity.

Review Quotes

'This rich and impressively broad-ranging book does live up to its interdisciplinary billing, and succeeds in making its powerful case: it is a myth that secular modernity represents the end of religion, and a misconception that it excludes religious belief.' - Christopher Watkin, Murray Edwards College, Cambridge, French Studies
