Between post-, de- and metasecularity: Habermas, Milbank, Zizek.
Creation after nothing

Currently, humanitarian knowledge is in a state of “cultural war” between projects that have found the courage, after the total deconstruction inherent in postmodernity, to create their own local worlds to interpret global events. The biggest battle is for the title of the dominant cultural paradigm of our time. Pre-modernity, modernity, postmodernity or metamodernity claim to win. The German philosopher Jürgen Habermas advocates modernity in this article; at the intersection of pre-modern and post-modern stands the Anglo-Catholic theologian John Milbank; The “party” of metamodernism has not yet been formed, but the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek could be part of it. One of the most important issues, which none of the parties can do without today, is the problem of the correspondence between religious, secular and atheistic elements in the consciousness and behavior of people, since the topic of religion unexpectedly burst into the intellectual, political and everyday life at the beginning of the 21st century. The article analyzes three models of this correspondence developed by these thinkers – postsecular, de(anti)secular and metasecular. This approach, if it does not determine the winner, will help the interested researcher to understand the programs of these “parties” and choose the one that is closest to his (her) intellectual intuition.
