| Sumario: | This text addresses the issue of secularization as a constitutive feature of modernity. Starting from the reconstruction of Hans Joas's critique of Weber's and Habermas's rationalizations, it presents Joas' concept of “sacralization”, as a notion that is capable of a better integration, understanding and dynamic explanation of the phenomena of modernity regarding religion, meaning and belief. Afterward the essay reconstructs the structural connection between sacralization in the Joasian version —as well as its sociological and philosophical antecedents— and the formation of ideals. However, starting with an analysis of shared resources in pragmatism and hermeneutics, it argues that in Joas remains a deficiency that hermeneutics may fill. The Joasian appeal to sociology and history, in order to empirically identify the formation of universalist ideals in societies, as a way of admitting Nietzsche's critique and assuming it with an affirmative genealogy showing positive historical configurations, must be complemented by a hermeneutics that incorporates the assessment and intentions of diverse historical configurations and evaluates their possibilities and limits. |
