Vattimo and Rorty consider the future of religion together with the political, social, and historical aspects
that characterize our contemporary postmodern, postmetaphysical, and post-Christian world. Their work opens new
ways of imagining what it is to be religious -- ways that emphasize charity, solidarity, and irony. This unique
collaboration is notable not only for its fusion of pragmatism (Rorty) and hermeneutics (Vattimo) but also for
its recognition of the limits of both traditional religious belief and modern secularism.
