Project:

Orthodox Christianity and Politics: Multiple Secularisms, Liberal Norms and Traditional Religion

Looking at religion-state relations in the context of Orthodox Christianity my project explores the normative-theoretical and conceptual challenges which religious traditional arguments pose to contemporary debates on religion, politics and postsecularism. The project wants to contribute to the definition of “multiple secularism of modern democracies” (Alfred Stepan) with regard to Orthodox Christianity through case studies in Greece, Russia, Ukraine, and Orthodox “diaspora” communities. In assessing debates about democracy and liberal norms in the Orthodox context the project evaluates religious-traditional and cultural-majoritarian strategies of argumentation for contemporary debates on politics and religion.
