Abstract
André Tosel's last book before his death, Nous citoyens, laïques et fraternels? (2015), takes into account the return of the “theological-political” in current times, developing a “spinozistic” criticism, which aims to unmask the false juxtaposition between the irrationality of new religious fundamentalisms and the supposed rationalism of neoliberal capitalism, which actually produces a perverse re-enchantment (a new kind of fetichism) of social relationships. By renewing Spinoza's critique of historical religions, Tosel considers the interaction between religion and laicity as an instrument to promote a common space of confrontation and to overcome the public-private dichotomy, while at the same time imagine new forms of democracy, beyond the frame of modern State sovereignty.
