Abstract:This essay reconstructs the secularization debate between Blumenberg and Löwith. It explores what a genealogy of secular modernity can and cannot accomplish, asking how to build on Blumenberg's legacy without repeating his errors. Blumenberg absorbed the skepticism of a genealogy of secularism and responded with an unrealistic image of disconnected modernity, while also understanding that modernity might contain normative resources of its own not requiring the redemptive efforts of secularizing translation. The legitimacy of the modern age involves not only the secularizing redemption of religious norms but also a search for sources of profane hope beyond the confines of tradition.

世俗化、谱系学和现代的合法性：对洛威斯-布鲁门伯格辩论的评论

摘要：本文重构了布鲁门贝格和洛威特之间的世俗化争论。它探讨了世俗现代性的谱系可以完成和不能完成的任务，询问如何在不重复布鲁门伯格的遗产的情况下继续他的错误。布鲁门伯格吸收了对世俗主义谱系的怀疑，并以不切实际的现代性的不切实际形象作为回应，同时也理解现代性可能包含其自身的规范资源，而不需要世俗化翻译的救赎性努力。现代时代的合法性不仅包括对宗教规范的世俗化救赎，还包括寻找超越传统范围的世俗希望的来源。
