History of Religions, Modernity, Secularisation, Sociology of Religions, Historical SociologyAbstract
Since the beginning of the 21st century, we have witnessed the return and the renewal of historical sociology in the debate on secularisation through the contributions of Talal Asad, Charles Taylor, Jürgen Habermas, José Casanova and Hans Joas, among others. The aim of the present text is to analyse the recovery of historical sociology, both through the potential dialogue that it poses with the classics of the sociology of religion, particularly with Max Weber, and through its contributions to the research on the process of secularisation. To this end, and after presenting a state of the art on secularisation and historical sociology, we will address both the precedents of this return of the socio-historical perspective and the methodological and conceptual developments that this approach provides to the debate on secularisation.
