Das Verhältnis zwischen Öffentlichkeit und Religion ist einer der großen Klassiker der Geistesgeschichte, der bis heute nichts von seiner Bedeutung eingebüßt hat. Mit großer Regelmäßigkeit rekurrieren Soziologen und Politikwissenschaftler auf eine Rückkehr der Religionen in den öffentlichen Raum. Im Zuge von Säkularisierung, Globalisierung und Digitalisierung stehen moderne Öffentlichkeiten und Religionen in einem stetig komplexeren Netz wechselseitiger Transformation. Einen besonderen Kristallisationspunkt dieses intensiven Wechselverhältnisses bilden die beiden großen Schlüsselthemen öffentliche Bildung und universitäre Forschung. Die im vorliegenden Band versammelten Beiträge beleuchten schlaglichtartig einige ausgewählte Aspekte in diesem weiten Feld vom Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts bis in die Gegenwart.

Urges that a philanthropic culture be inculcated in Mexican society; a strengthened third sector that would complement both state & private investment in the construction of a civil society would be a great force for good. The intellectual roots of this line of thinking (from the French Revolution to publications by leading Mexican cultural figures such as Carlos Fuentes) are traced, & an overview of current thought in Mexico on the value of such a philanthropic impulse is included. Five proposals are offered; it is urged that social capital be created in the form of (1) human resources (voluntary & organized), (2) economic resources, (3) wide distribution to all regions of the country, (4) establishment of a virtuous circle for philanthropic activity, & (5) promotion of a positive attitude toward cultural diversity & tolerance. A contrastive analysis of the three sectors underscores the suitability of the last for building a civil society. 1 Figure, 3 References. A. Cohen-Siegel
