OBSERVATIONS ON THE CONCEPT OF CIVIL RELIGION IN THE DEBATE BETWEEN WILLIAM WARBURTON AND JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU
Keywords:
Tolerance, Church, State, Civil ReligionAbstract
The aim of this paper is to clarify the controversy between W. Warburton and J. J. Rousseau on civil religion, especially with regard to the importance of this concept for the political theory of both philosophers. In order to interpret this we consider (I) the relationship between Church and State in Warburton and the importance of the religion for the political order, the significance of a harmonic Alliance between Church and State and the pertinence of Christianity for this association. Furthermore, we explain (II) Rousseau ́s categorization of civil religion with regard to the deficiency of the intellect, the necessity of a complement for him and the particular character of the religion. Finally, we expose (III) the dilemma of the tolerance of these theories.
