Charles Taylor: ein säkulares Zeitalter

Meer over het boek

Charles Taylor is one of the most internationally renowned philosophers of our time. His work unites, on the basis of a philosophical anthropology of strong evaluations, language, social, and political philosophy into a comprehensive theory of modern goods, which finds its brilliant conclusion in Taylor's magnum opus A Secular Age. In complex lines of thought, Taylor narrates the change in social prestige regarding our notions of "abundance" to explore the emergence of secular thinking. He spans the narrative from the reform movements of the High Middle Ages through the contractual theoretical models of discipline to the exclusionary humanism of the 19th and 20th centuries. This work is now thoroughly commented on by internationally recognized experts to provide interpretative aids for a key work of social philosophy.
