Dialogue between Canon Law and Law in Postmodern Europe
Dialogue between Canon Law and Law in Postmodern Europe

Summary/Abstract: The world today is described as postmodern. However, the forms of religious life still present in it allow it to be seen as post-secular. The programmatic removal of religion from social life has not achieved results. The continued presence of religion brings its characteristic values to social life. The world can draw on its unique normative intuition as expressed by Jurgen Habermas. The normative dimension of religion is also constituted by its law. For this reason, a reflection has been undertaken on the possibility of a dialogue between the law of the Church and the law in the world, in its postmodern view. An area of possible dialogue is the unity of the idea of law expressed in the plurality of legal orders. The determinants of this idea include, among others, equity, legal security and justice, which were presented as reference points for the possibility of dialogue between law and canon law.
