Abstract

This article discusses the relationship between the speeches made by religions in the public space. The perspective is to realize the plurality and heterogeneity of the public space and the possibility of considering religions as ways of dialogue, tolerance, reciprocity and otherness. The aim is to think from the theoretical framework postulated by Jurgen Habermas. In this sense, we seek to understand the true meaning of public space as a possibility to think the relationship between the secular and post-secular.
