A crítica de Arendt ao conceito de secularização

This article seeks to show Hannah Arendt's criticism of the secularization theorem, as presented by contemporary authors. Firstly, the theorem will be distinguished from the secularization process that occurred in modernity, as it is done by Hans Blumenberg and Arendt herself. In a second moment, the theories of Waldemar Gurian, Karl Löwith and Eric Voegelin will be commented, which will serve as examples of the secularization theorem criticized by Hannah Arendt. Finally, we will present the author's criticisms of this theorem and show how the rejection of the idea of secularization is closely related to her interpretation of history.
