Kunst}, title = {Citizenship in a post-secular society}, url = {https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/1444/}, abstract = {Good planning is responsive to the needs and goals of citizens. Therefore, a society in which everyone is included is needed. I will argue that in the post-secular society that I sketch, this is not the case. The reason for this non-inclusivity is the lack of social cohesion, a lack of legitimation of political decisions, and a lack of a common civic culture. Both citizenship theory and post-secular theory have visions about the ideal role of citizens within society. From both theories I will reflect on the challenges of the post-secular society, trying to find an answer to the question: What does a post-secular form of citizenship look like? I will conclude by arguing that there is not just one best post-secular citizenship, but that the answer to this question is completely dependent on ones political views.} }
