Conclusion. 330 $aCivil Religion offers philosophical commentaries on more than twenty thinkers stretching from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. It examines four important traditions within the history of modern political philosophy. The civil religion tradition, principally defined by Machiavelli, Hobbes and Rousseau, seeks to domesticate religion by putting it solidly in the service of politics. The liberal tradition pursues an alternative strategy of domestication by seeking to put as much distance as possible between religion and politics. Modern theocracy is a militant reaction against liberalism, reversing the relationship of subordination asserted by civil religion. Finally, a fourth tradition is defined by Nietzsche and Heidegger. Aspects of their thought are not just modern, but hyper-modern, yet they manifest an often-hysterical reaction against liberalism that is fundamentally shared with the theocratic tradition. Together, these four traditions compose a vital dialogue that carries us to the heart of political philosophy itself. 606 $aPolitical science$xHistory 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical science$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy$xHistory. 676 $a320.01 700 $aBeiner$b Ronald$f1953-$0165987 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458763403321 996 $aCivil religion$91899839 997 $aUNINA
