Abstract

This issue compiles eight articles, originally papers discussed in Roundtables or Working Groups, combining diverse themes with some common concerns. Thus, we see that in all of them - in one way or another - the need to give greater importance to empirical results is emphasized as a necessary condition for the theoretical debate on religion in the contemporary world. In the same way, going through each of the works, we see the concepts of "Modernity", "Tradition", "Secularization", "Pluralism" appear problematized either as opposite or complementary pairs, as analytically constructed paradoxes or as data from reality".
