Abstract
Life-world represents the background of beliefs, moral values, cultural norms that are presupposed in ordinary life and communication. Our social world evolves through communication that can assume the form of the uses of language (ordinary and extra-ordinary). We will see that both aspects are crucial to understand the process of secularism and the new “post-secular” society.
Keywords: Life-world, communicative action, secularism, post-secularism
