The aim of this article is to reconstruct the secular conception of the political engendered in Modernity in accordance with the historical narrative of Modernity proposed by Charles Taylor, especially in his work A Secular Age. This reconstruction will unfold in three stages: (1) we will develop how medieval Western culture established a conception of the political sustained by a clear and complementary division between the “secular” and the “religious”; (2) we will detail how Modernity engendered a new social imaginary in which the political came to be conceived exclusively in secular terms; and (3) we will explain how the two theoretical-political paradigms of modernity—liberalism and republicanism—gave political expression to the secular imaginary of Modernity.
