Özet:

Although the meaning of the relationship between modernity and religion can make possible different interpretations in Western and non-Western societies, in post-modernism the understanding the concept of religion does not fit certain measure. The modernity with its universal legal potential has prevailed on a world construction which has been purified from the religion and tradition. While the post-modern discourse tries to determine its own place by relying on the criticism of modernity, this situation has led the cloudiness and ambiguity of the present world-sense of our contemporary people more than leading them to explore a new world-sense. In this kind of ambiguity, it seems that dealing with the religion and tradition anew in the light of post-modernity can be regarded as an entering into a problematic area. Since, in post-modernism neither re-establishment of religions nor going back to rituals is told about. Only such common elements of religions –justice, love and helping each –other can find their places in the lives of the pluralitic post-modern societies. Due to this reason the certain attitude of modernity against religion is still a problem in post-modern discourse.
