Religious Texts And Public Reason: Reframing Authority In Plural Societies



Authors : Menad Safia .

Abstract

Abstract: This article explores the role of religious texts in the contemporary public sphere under cultural and normative pluralism. It argues that the challenge is not exclusion or privilege, but making sacred authority publicly justifiable. Drawing on Habermas’ communicative rationality and modern Arab-Islamic thought, it examines epistemological critique, hermeneutics, and ethical reconstruction. Integrating religious texts requires interpretive openness and commitment to shared moral values. Religious texts function as dialogical resources, contributing to reasoned debate and the construction of a common normative order.
