• Resumen

  • Any variant of the idea of universal religion, conceived as a metareligion transcending historical religions and reinterpreting the religious heritage of humanity, presupposes the choice of certaincriteria of interpretation and a relation to the plurality of traditions and cultures. The present study focuses on conceptions of universal religion developed in the 19th century France within theliberal, lay and republican current, mainly those of Pierre Leroux and Edgar Quinet. Their belonging to the “spiritual posterity of Joachim of Fiore” makes it possible to build a bridge between them and the work of the contemporary philosopher Gianni Vattimo. His post-secular approach invites us to rethink the religious heritage of the West in the light of modern and postmodern religious and cultural pluralism, which should not be synonymous with boundless relativism.
