Modernity and religion: Durkheim, Marx and Weber on the memory of neoliberalim

Keywords: Modernity, religion, Neoliberalism, Theodicy of suffering, Spheres of value, Estate Theology

Abstract

This essay shows the unspeakable similarities between neoliberalism and religion from the religion roots of modernity. Decisive in this sense are the assertions of the thinkers Durkheim, Marx and Weber to the abstractions of classical religious and their necessary determinations from “modern” men. To identify these roots this essay uses both the reflections of Nietzsche and of the decisive contributions of Foucault and Bourdieu in their different intellectual compositions.
