          Abstract

          El trabajo inicia con la revisión de la tesis de la secularización, que ligaba modernización y secularización a la luz de la reciente expansión global de las religiones. Se pregunta si esto último requiere una reconfiguración del marco conceptual de la teoría de la modernización. Mientras que la secularización ha tenido lugar efectivamente en la expansión de sistemas funcionales más allá de las fronteras nacionales, la religión no se ha vuelto irrelevante como "comunidad de interpretación" en numerosos asuntos sociales y morales. La tesis de la secularización no está ya vinculada al concepto de evolución social, y esto implica una perspectiva distinta respecto de las fuentes de la filosofía moderna: el pensamiento posmetafísico se ha apropiado críticamente de contenidos de la tradición judeocristiana que no son menos importantes que los de la metafísica griega. No obstante, el pluralismo persistente de visiones del mundo es también un estímulo para el desarrollo del derecho internacional y de principios compartidos de justicia para una sociedad mundial multicultural.

          Translated abstract

          The paper begins with a revision of the secularization thesis that linked modernization with secularization in the light of the recent worldwide expansion of religions. It asks whether and how the later phenomena requires a reconfiguration of the conceptual framework of modernization theory. While secularization has taken place effectively in the expansion of functional systems across state boundaries, religion has not become irrelevant as a "community of interpretation" on many social and moral issues. A new understanding of the secularization thesis is no longer linked to the concept of social evolution, and this implies a changed perspective on the sources of modern philosophy: post-metaphysical thought has critically appropriated contents from the Judeo-Christian tradition that are no less important than those of Greek metaphysics. But the persisting pluralism of worldviews is also a stimulus for the development of international law and shared secular principles of justice for a multicultural world society.
