Project
Faith and Fabric (The status of ‘secular modernity’ in an African context)
In 2005/2006 the Wissenschaftskolleg in Berlin hosted an inter-disciplinary research project on secular modernity in which world-renowned Fellows like Hans Joas (German sociologist at the Freiburh Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS), professor of the University of Chicago), who led the project, Charles Taylor (Canadian philosopher) and Jose Casanova (sociologist of religion from New York), amongst others, studied the nature of secularisation and the presence and role or religion in different so-called modern societies.
