| Abstract
|
:
|
"Many liberal secularists reject any interaction between politics and religion. But in Why I Am Not a Secularist distinguished political theorist William E. Connolly argues that secularism, although admirable in its pursuit of freedom and diversity, too often undercuts these goals through its narrow and intolerant understandings of public reason. In response, he crafts a new model of public life that more accurately reflects the needs of contemporary politics and society."--BOOK JACKET.
