{"product_id":"cosmopolitanism-religion-and-the-public-sphere-1","title":"Cosmopolitanism, Religion and the Public Sphere","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough emerging scholarship in the social sciences suggests that religion can be a potential catalyst of cosmopolitanism and global citizenship, few attempts have been made to bring to the fore new theoretical positions and empirical analyses of how cosmopolitanism -- as a philosophical notion, a practice and identity outlook -- can also shape and inform concrete religious affiliations. Key questions concerning the significance of cosmopolitan ideas and practices – in relation to particular religious experiences and discourses -- remain to be explored, both theoretically and empirically. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book takes as its starting point the emergence of cosmopolitanism -- as a major interdisciplinary field -- as a springboard for generating a productive dialogue among scholars working within a variety of intellectual disciplines and methodological traditions. The chapter contributions offer a serious attempt to critically engage both the limitations and possibilities of cosmopolitanism as an analytical and critical tool to understand a changing religious landscape in a globalizing world, namely, the so-called ‘new religious diversity’, religious conflict, and issues of migration, multiculturalism and transnationalism vis-à-vis the public exercise of religion. The contributors’ work is situated in a range of world sites in Africa, India, North America, Latin America, and Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work will be of great interest to students and scholars of globalization, religion and politics, and the sociology of religion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256718119256,"sku":"9780367600969","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367600969.jpg?v=1769708722","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/cosmopolitanism-religion-and-the-public-sphere-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
