Meditation and the Post-Secular Condition
The Oxford Handbook of Meditation May 7, 2020 Manu Bazzano
Meditation practice is increasingly linked to a post-secular turn in culture, which reinterprets the usual opposition between secularism and religion by asserting immanence over transcendence. While meditation is often embedded in either a religious or secular framework, contemporary forms are increasingly secular. A third way is suggested, favoring a meditation practice that acknowledges the post-secular turn, especially when secular forms like mindfulness have been decontextualized to the point of undermining the ethical context of meditation.
