Abstract
El concepto de religión ha cambiado en los últimos cinco siglos. Hoy se suele definir como una serie de creencias y prácticas relacionadas con seres supraempíricos por parte de individuos agrupados en comunidades institucionalizadas. La secularización describe el abandono parcial y progresivo de la religión en las sociedades de la Edad Moderna, caracterizada por ello como “era secular”. La mundanización se entiende de dos maneras: bien como secularización o transformación de los dogmas religiosos en conceptos mundanos, o bien como descristianización y sustitución de la religión por posiciones agnósticas y ateístas. La modernidad como era secular ha pasado por diversas fases, adoptando formas de vida secularizadas o ateas, que conviven con prácticas de religiones tradicionales y otras de nueva creación. Se estudia la evolución de estos conceptos con la guía de pensadores contemporáneos (Blumenberg, Taylor) y se estudian los primeros pasos de la secularización en la obra de algunos pensadores modernos: Maquiavelo, Hobbes y Spinoza.
The concept of religion has been evolving over the last five centuries. Today, it is often defined as a series of beliefs and practices related to superempirical beings by individuals grouped in institutionalised communities. Secularisation describes the partial and progressive abandonment of religion in Modern Era societies, characterised therefore as "a secular age". Mundanisation is understood as the secularisation or transformation of religious dogma in mundane concepts,or as the de-Christianisation and replacement of religion by agnostic and atheist positions. Modernity as a secular agehas gone through diverse phases, adopting secularised or atheist ways of living, that coexist with traditional and other newly-created religious practices. This article studies the evolution of those concepts guided by contemporary thinkers (Blumenberg, Taylor). It also explores the emergence of secularisation in the works of some modern thinkers: Machiavelli, Hobbes and Spinoza.
