Abstract

For Habermas, social cohesion in liberal democratic societies is created and ensured by public discourse, which creates and regulates democratic virtues through non-hierarchical communication in which all citizens participate equally. According to the understanding of post-secularism, this public discourse must be secular. This requires religious citizens to translate religious arguments into secular ones in public discourse. However, it remains an open question to what extent religious citizens in plural societies can or want to participate in such a communication process based on their religious self-understanding. In this article, an attempt will be made to investigate this question, at least within the Islamic faith tradition. A Qur’anic narrative will be examined for possible indications of how the Qur’an conceives communication with those of different worldviews. The analyzed narrative reveals perspectives of understanding from which remarkable contributions to social cohesion can be derived.
参与世俗化的公共领域--《古兰经》的可能视角?
在哈贝马斯看来,自由民主社会的社会凝聚力是由公共话语创造和确保的,公共话语通过所有公民平等参与的非等级交流来创造和规范民主美德。根据对后世俗主义的理解,这种公共话语必须是世俗的。这就要求信教公民在公共话语中将宗教论点转化为世俗论点。然而,多元社会中的宗教公民在多大程度上能够或愿意根据自己的宗教自我理解参与这样的交流过程,这仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。本文将尝试研究这个问题,至少是在伊斯兰信仰传统中。本文将研究《古兰经》中的一段叙事,以了解《古兰经》是如何看待与不同世界观的人进行交流的。所分析的叙事揭示了理解的角度,从中可以得出对社会凝聚力的显著贡献。
