Description
Résumé:This article disputes the common view of religious and secular as oppositional terms. Our contemporary world is post-secularist, because secularism is a modern ideology that imagines a strict separation of the religious and the political, where religion becomes a purely private affair. This situation is compromised by the “return” of religion in political terms. Constructively, following Jacques Lacan, we can say that secular theology concerns the Real; and with François Laruelle, we can think about a non-theology that complements what he calls non-philosophy. Finally, I speculate on three names of the Real: energy, capital, and nomos.
