Descrizione

By critically recovering Peter Berger’s analysis, this article proposes some considerations around the wide theme of the pluralism of cultural and religious identities in contemporary western society. The intent is to focus attention on the processes of regulation and social integration that are produced in it, increasingly marked by individualistic instances of self-realization and by the two processes consequent to it: that of social fragmentation, on the one hand, compensated, on the other hand, by the search for a strong identity recomposition. The notion and the principle of the disenchanted reason, as a regulatory criterion in a universalistic sense, is the most important legacy of the Enlightenment: in the strenuous confrontation with the contemporary pluralistic society, the modern universalist synthesis plays the decisive game for the survival of European culture.
