Partial secularism and comprehensive secularism 2

This study attempts to remove some of the ambiguity surrounding "secularism" which has become one of the most important terms in analytical discourse, and to arrive at a complex definition characterized by high interpretive ability. The author distinguishes between what he calls partial secularism (separation of religion from the state with silence regarding final issues), and comprehensive secularism (separation of human, moral, and religious values from life in its public and private aspects, and the removal of sanctity from humans and nature so that the entire world becomes an utilitarian material employed by the strongest for their own benefit).
