Habermas IV 428 Secularization/Parsons/Habermas: the concept of secularization is linked to the generalization of values that is emerging at the level of the general system of action. Parsons does not understand the secularization of religious values and ideas as the loss of their obligatory character: as religious ethics takes root in the world, the moral-practical contents Habermas IV 429 are not uprooted. >Values, >Norms, >Duties, >Ethics, >Morals. Secularized value orientations do not necessarily detach themselves from their religious ground; more typical is the confessionalization of a belief that at the same time exercises tolerance and which fits ecumenically into the circle of all other confessions.(1) Habermas IV 430 For Parsons, the secularization of religious powers means a de-dogmatization that allows the once rival fundamental beliefs of death and life to coexist on the basis of shared fundamental ethical beliefs. >Society, >Community, >Tolerance. 1.
