How to study the contemporary dynamics between the religious the nonreligious and the secular in a globalizing world? Obviously their relationship is not an empirical datum liable to the procedures of verification or of logical deduction. We are in need of alternative conceptual and methodological tools. This volume argues that the concept of ¿social imaginary¿ as it is used by Charles Taylor is of utmost importance as a methodological tool to understand these dynamics. The first section is dedicated to the conceptual clarification of Taylor's notion of social imaginaries both through a historical study of their genealogy and through conceptual analysis. In the second section we clarify the relation of ¿social imaginaries¿ to the concept of (religious) worldviewing understood as a process of truth seeking. Furthermore we discuss the practical usefulness of the concept of social imaginaries for cultural scientists by focusing on the concept of human rights as a secular social imaginary. In the third and final section we relate Taylor's view on the role of social imaginaries and the new paths it opens up for religious studies to other analyses of the secular-religious divide as they nowadays mainly come to the fore in the debates on what is coined as the ¿post-secular.¿
