Abstract

The "Böckenförde paradox" may lead to the question: of modern political science can capture the value of the structural tension between religion and politics? In politics and the world of religion too, there is a tendency to reduce this tension, either by trying to identify politics with religion, or by completely separating them. In the epistemological dimension, the tendency to reduce this tension can also be seen in the sciences of politics, although it occurs to a different extent in functionalistic, institutional or historical approaches.

Keywords:

Böckenförde, politics, political science of religion, religion
