• "Believing in a Secular Age: Anthropology, Sociology and Religious Experience," Jean-Paul Baldacchino and Joel S. Kahn, eds. The Australian Journal of Anthropology 22, no. 1 (2011): 1-13. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1757-6547.2011.00106.x/abstract.
  Abstract:
  Charles Taylor’s A secular age generated a great deal of attention—and has stimulated important debates—among a diverse range of scholars in sociology, history, politics, religious studies and to a lesser extent, anthropologists. much of the debate has focused on the implications of Taylor’s work for the so-called secularisation thesis and the place (or non-place) of religion in the so-called public sphere. the essays in this volume arise less out of such concerns and more from Taylor’s discussion of secularism in a third, ‘experiential’ sense. each paper addresses the question of what it is like to ‘believe’ (or not ‘believe’) in the modern world. among other things the authors of the essays published in this special issue are concerned to develop better understandings of the conditions under which belief and unbelief may be experienced as open, rather than closed, to the possibility of other ontological construals, thereby building on Taylor’s insights into the phenomenology of modern secularism.

  Abstract:
  In this paper, I explore what it would mean to pursue modes of ‘deeper engagement’ and how this might be done without abandoning the capacity for disengaged reasoning. charles taylor recognises disengaged reasoning as ‘one of the most important developments of the modern era’ and as essential to the pursuit of the good society, even though (like everything else) when taken to an extreme it corrupts or distorts the modes of being-in-the-world. in A secular age, taylor continues a long-running critique of disengaged reason and its contributions to the malaise of modernity, focusing especially on its conflictual relationship with religious belief and its central role in the disenchantment of the world. my objective here is to relativise and contextualise the relationship between disengaged and engaged modes of being, in part by exploring some of the ways in which we may be deeply engaged in the world and with one another while also employing the critical faculties that enable us to analyse dispassionately, amongst other things, theistic and other interpretations of being-in-the-world.

  Abstract:
  This paper examines stephen jay Gould’s concept of science and religion as ‘nonoverlapping magisteria’ with reference to spiritualism, specifically the case of the cottingley fairies. it argues that this is a case in which the magisteria are neither separate nor overlapping but instead exist in a far more complex relationship. through an exploration of this complexity, this paper offers discussion of the relationship between religion and science. in doing so, it problematises the common use of the terms ‘faith’ and ‘belief’ to characterise the experience of religious conviction.

  Abstract:
  ‘What does it mean to say that we live in a secular age?’ asks the philosopher charles taylor from a christian (catholic) perspective. this paper critiques key aspects of the way he seeks to answer the question, doing so from a methodologically agnostic anthropological standpoint. it focuses on three key elements of his argument: His construal of the problem of immanence, his account of secularisation and his treatment of science as an (inadequate) antidote to religion. the critique contains within it the ingredients for an alternative, anthropologically grounded approach to secularity, secularism and secularisation. in this spirit, it moves towards examining actually existing secularity as a syncretic phenomenon that is, in significant respects, definitive of modernity.

  Abstract:
  How does transcendental religion flourish when a secular frame sets conditions of belief? this question is put in a case study of the catholic newman society at the university of melbourne (1955–65). the society flourished in a secular university where charles Taylor’s ‘immanent frame’ was supposedly in place. explanations are found in the particular spirituality nurtured in the society and in the contingencies of australian catholicism in the mid-twentieth century, but also in the conventions of secular discourse in the university. conclusions drawn from the case are: (i) that there are elective affinities between some forms of transcendental religion and a secular context; (ii) that social science dichotomies that separate the religious and secular obviate appreciation of elective affinities and hybridisation; (iii) that there are parallels between ethnographic inquiry and inner-worldly spirituality that may help us develop a conversational ethnography.
• Kahn, Joel S. "Understanding: Between Belief and Unbelief." The Australian Journal of Anthropology 22, no. 1 (2011): 76-88. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1757-6547.2011.00108.x/abstract.
  Abstract:
  This paper addresses issues raised in Taylor’s work concerning how communities may come to work in normatively secular ways. for taylor, it seems to be sufficient for believers (and nonbelievers) to acknowledge that their own ‘construals’ are not shared by everyone. however, this leaves open the question of how the acknowledgement of difference may be turned into respect. A common strategy is to require that faith-based truth claims are ‘bracketed out’, treating secular and religious discourse as ‘nonoverlapping magisteria’. this secularising strategy is, however, problematic on a number of counts. the article makes a case for a less confrontational, more cosmopolitan conversation between secular and religious reason in a postsecular age, examining in particular the possibilities for conversation between science and mysticism. it concludes that it is possible to retain a commitment to naturalism and yet also accept some of the most mystical of propositions, thereby establishing a bridge between ‘secular’ and ‘religious’ forms of reasoning.

  In this paper, I explore what it would mean to pursue modes of ?deeper engagement? and how this might be done without abandoning the capacity for disengaged reasoning. charles taylor recognises disengaged reasoning as ?one of the most important developments of the modern era? and as essential to the pursuit of the good society, even though (like everything else) when taken to an extreme it corrupts or distorts the modes of being-in-the-world. in A secular age, taylor continues a long-running critique of disengaged reason and its contributions to the malaise of modernity, focusing especially on its conflictual relationship with religious belief and its central role in the disenchantment of the world. my objective here is to relativise and contextualise the relationship between disengaged and engaged modes of being, in part by exploring some of the ways in which we may be deeply engaged in the world and with one another while also employing the critical faculties that enable us to analyse dispassionately, amongst other things, theistic and other interpretations of being-in-the-world.

  Abstract:
  The article presents responses on several articles which includes one by karl smith on deep engagement, anna branfod on non-overlapping magisteria, and jean-paul baldacchino on the pre modern form of religious belief in a secular age. he agrees on smith's study and says that disengaged knowing is a valuable addition. he tells that branford's story is interesting but does not take into account the ways in which magisteria have overlapped and changed each other. he describes baldacchino study as showing his main thesis about a secular age.
• Beyond the Secular West. Edited by Akeel Bilgrami. New York: Columbia University Press, 2016. http://cgt.columbia.edu/research/books/archive/beyond-secular-west/
  Abstract:
  What is the character of secularism in countries that were not pervaded by Christianity, such as China, India, and the nations of the Middle East? To what extent is the secular an imposition of colonial rule? How does secularism comport with local religious cultures in Africa, and how does it work with local forms of power and governance in Latin America? Has modern secularism evolved organically, or is it even necessary, and has it always meant progress? A vital extension of Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age, in which he exhaustively chronicled the emergence of secularism in Latin Christendom, this anthology applies Taylor’s findings to secularism’s global migration. Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na’im, Rajeev Bhargava, Akeel Bilgrami, Souleymane Bachir Diagne, Sudipta Kaviraj, Claudio Lomnitz, Alfred Stepan, Charles Taylor, and Peter van der Veer each explore the transformation of Western secularism beyond Europe, and the collection closes with Taylor’s response to each essay. What began as a modern reaction to—as well as a stubborn extension of—Latin Christendom has become a complex export shaped by the world’s religious and political systems. Brilliantly alternating between intellectual and methodological approaches, this volume fosters a greater engagement with the phenomenon across disciplines.

  Abstract:
  Being a Muslim is foundational for me, it informs and guides everything I do or say in every aspect of my life. It is therefore inconceivable to me that I can hold any philosophical or ideological position that is inconsistent with my being a Muslim by my understanding of Islam. I have said that frequently regarding human rights, for instance, and affirm it here regarding secularism. It is from this perspective that I support the secular state for the possibility of being a better Muslim, and not secularism as a life philosophy that diminishes the public role of religion. “In.

  Abstract:
  Charles Taylor’sA Secular Ageis a book about the social imaginary of the North Atlantic and, to some extent, European modernity.¹ But much of its argument, and I believe the reason for its success, lies in its characterization of what the secular age leaves behind, what no longer exists, perhaps what it has lost. It is a feature of Taylor’s work that he enables us to experience the In Charles Taylors Landkarte, edited by Ulf Bohmann, Gesche Keding and Hartmut Rosa. Transition from one kind of life-world to another. Among these lost worlds, he discusses “early religions” that still exist in some parts of the world. This essay must be viewed as.

  Abstract:
  Gandhi never really came to any detailed grip with the concept of class, to say nothing of “class struggle,” in the remarkable politics he espoused and generated. Yet I believe that there is a radical and “left-wing” Gandhi in a broad but genuine sense of that term. But if that is so, then there are interpretative tasks ahead. We need to reconcile this Gandhi with the ease with which he seems susceptible, and rightly susceptible, to an antimodernist reading.
  I would like in this short essay to suggest that if we follow a method that is superbly exemplified in illuminating.

  Abstract:
  Saad ibn Abī Waqqās is one of theSahaba, which in Islamic terminology means the early companions and disciples of the prophet Muhammad, those who were the first to believe in his mission and to follow him at a time when doing so meant persecution, exile, and the possibility of being killed. Saad, who is said to have been the seventeenth person to embrace the new faith, when he was seventeen, holds a particular place among those who wrote the golden legend of the early days of Islam. According to the narratives of those early times, he resisted the moral.

  Abstract:
  The sparseness of the title of Charles Taylor’s work is itself an incitement to further thinking. The work purports to be a description, analysis, and reflection on “a secular age”—but it is reticent about the question of space. It offers a story of a great transformation—but where does this narrative happen? There are two ways of taking this unspoken indeterminate site of the secular age. A dominant strand of social theory, aligned to powerful narratives of modernization, would view in it a double story: a story of a historic transformation that really occurred in some “Western societies”—though.

  Abstract:
  My object in this essay is to present elements for a study of radical Mexican secularism in a fashion that is in critical dialogue with Charles Taylor’s account of secularism. It is a double-edged endeavor that seeks, on one hand, to explore the pertinence of some of Taylor’s core concepts for the analysis of secularism in Mexico and Ibero-America and, on the other, to try to place that region in relation to the historical arc that Taylor conceptualizes and explicates. My contribution is offered with the aim of identifying a few general conceptual and historical parameters in the case, and.

  Abstract:
  For many of the most influential “modernization” and “secularism” theorists, religion is “traditional and irrational” and associated with authoritarianism; they see it as the binary opposite of “modernization and rationality,” which they view as a necessary path to democratization.¹ Indeed, one of the most influential English-language political philosophers in the last half of the twentieth century, John Rawls, in his early work went so far as to argue that, in the name of arriving at an “overlapping consensus,” religious arguments should be “taken off the public agenda.”² Charles Taylor in his book, A Secular Age, discusses the complex historical processes.

  Abstract:
  We live in a world in which ideas, institutions, art styles, and formulae for production and living, circulate among societies and civilizations that are very different in their historical roots and traditional forms. Parliamentary democracy spread outward from England, among other countries, to India. And the practice of nonviolent civil disobedience spread from its origins in Gandhi’s practice to many other places, including Martin Luther King Jr.’s civil rights movements, to Manila in 1983, and eventually to the Velvet and Orange revolutions of our time.
  But these ideas and forms don’t just change place as solid blocks; they are also.

  Abstract:
  Perhaps it might help to sharpen some points that emerge from this interesting collection of essays, or at least to bring them more clearly into focus, if I comment on the descriptions they offer of their respective periods and regions. I’ll try to do this by contrasting them with the basically North Atlantic trajectory to a secular age, as I understand this.
  Sudipta Kaviraj raises the issue, at several points in his paper, why the existence of religious difference with intense rivalry and intellectual polemic didn’t lead to a general decline of religion. One might expect this kind of conflictual,.

  Abstract:
  My aim in this contribution is to focus on four moments in history that may illuminate the nature of Confucianism from a comparative perspective and in conversation with Charles Taylor’s work on the secular age. Establishing a definition of Western secularism and then searching for this object in the societies of China, India, and elsewhere does not make much sense, since it will only establish that “they do not have it” or “they have something that resembles it but is different.” Comparing different traditions of transcendence and immanence as well as their political dynamic can help us to move beyond.

  The chapter shows how the theme of meaning-constitution in relation to human subjectivity runs like a red thread through taylor's work on epistemology, philosophy of language and ethics. it draws attention to issues that are commonly regarded as weak points for the hermeneutic tradition taylor identifies with and it considers whether taylor is any more successful when dealing with these issues himself.

  Abstract:
  Within his earliest contributions to the human sciences, Charles Taylor challenged dominant behavioral views by advancing a hermeneutical conception of human agency. For Taylor, persons continually navigate their meaningful worlds and make sense of things and act in light of background horizons of significance and social imaginaries. Yet, conceptions of children have lagged as dominant outlooks construe young people as immature and incapable - perpetuating behavioral approaches to controlling their actions rather than hermeneutic ones that recognize them as agents. Working with Taylor's ideas, I discuss a Childhood Ethics ontological approach to understanding children and childhood. Specifically, I: (a) draw on Taylor's critique of naturalistic approaches to the human sciences to highlight problems that underlie universalist claims about all childhoods; (b) relate Taylor's articulation of human agency, centered on strong evaluation and human linguistic capacity, to the Philosophy of Childhood and Childhood Studies to address current questions regarding our understanding of agency within childhood; and (c) describe a hermeneutic ontology that can inform the development of empirical research, policy-making and practices that relate to children. I close with an outline of priority questions that can orient future investigations within this area of inquiry.
• Cooke, Maeve. "Immanent Critique of the Immanent Frame: The Critical Potential of A Secular Age." International Journal of Philosophical Studies : IJPS 29, no. 5 (2021): 738-758.
  Abstract:
  Charles Taylor's method of philosophical argumentation is distinctive, interlacing historical, ontological, phenomenological, hermeneutical, theistic, and ethical strands. His writings contribute to debates in many domains, including sociology, theology, and political theory, speaking both to his peers in the academy and to wider publics. Often, he assumes the role of socio-cultural critic, diagnosing the features of our contemporary culture and society that people experience as a loss or decline. In this paper, I focus on A Secular Age, where he discusses the predicament of the modern secularized self, who exists in a condition of spiritual instability, pulled in two directions: on the one side motivated by the oppressive effects of religious orthodoxy to reject the earlier established faiths; on the other side, driven by a sense of emptiness to look for something that could compensate for the meanings lost with theistic transcendence. My paper discusses Taylor's account of the 'immanent frame' of the modern secularized self-understanding, assessing the strengths and limitations of his hermeneutical approach to this self-understanding. It calls on him to develop its potentials as a more robust form of immanent critique.
• Laitinen, Arto. "Entre Nous: Charles Taylor's Social Ontology." International Journal of Philosophical Studies : IJPS 29, no. 5 (2021): 723-737.
  Abstract:
  This article discusses Charles Taylor's philosophy of human sociality, focusing especially on Taylor's analysis of what happens, when a linguistic exchange or conversation starts. On his view, a shared space emerges, in which some object or topic is irreducibly 'for us', entre nous, not merely 'for me' and 'for you,'. When something is brought to our shared attention, a 'we' is at the same time created. This article asks, first, how this differs from mutual recognition of others as candidate conversation partners, and from joint commitments, which bind the parties and structure further joint action. The article argues, against Margaret Gilbert, that these are three different phenomena highlighting different aspects of human sociality. Secondly, the article discusses the nature of the 'we': does the irreducibility claim commit Taylor to a view of plural subjects or 'group minds'? Thirdly, the article outlines two possible readings of a 'shared space': one posits an emergent social layer and another an emergence of a 'conversationally extended mind'. Both are possible interpretations of Taylor's account, while neither is committed to a notorious phenomenal group mind or to a more demanding rational unity -view (Carol Rovane). Taylor's 'entre nous' offers a distinct perspective, of continuing relevance.

• Meijer, Michiel. "Clarifying Moral Clarification: On Taylor's Contribution to Metaethics." International Journal of Philosophical Studies : IJPS 29, no. 5 (2021): 705-722.
  Abstract:
  Given Taylor's status as one of the most important thinkers in contemporary moral and political philosophy, it is somewhat surprising that so little attention has been paid to the implications of his views for metaethics. To fill this gap, this paper considers the highly unorthodox approach to metaethics articulated in his philosophy. While his views can be seen as 'anti-metaethical,' I argue that Taylor in fact takes the cause of metaethics in a new direction by showing the problems of moral realism in a whole new light. To demonstrate this, I first sketch the mainstream debate on moral realism (§1) to clear the way for Taylor's non-mainstream approach (§2). I continue to explain his unusual position by highlighting the contrast between the classical conception of moral facts and Taylor's key concepts of 'strong evaluation' and 'moral sources' (§3). Against the background of this contrast, I turn to Taylor's view on the nature of language to explain how it informs his distinctive conception of moral realism (§4). I conclude by discussing the implications of Taylor's realism for wider trends within metaethics (§5).
• Smith, Kevin R. "Re-Thinking Therapy with Taylor: Beyond the Therapeutic." International Journal of Philosophical Studies : IJPS 29, no. 5 (2021): 776-790.
  Abstract:
  In his critique of the therapeutic, Taylor argues that therapy fails to engage with the ethical and spiritual significance of human suffering. Therapy's denial of ethics is representative of a wider modern difficulty with accommodating Taylor's view of ethical discourse as the articulation of the qualitative distinctions of worth implicit in our strong evaluations. In the case of therapy, this rejection of ethics stems from the claim to offer a set of scientifically based techniques of psychological change, and from protections for patient autonomy that are derived from a negative conception of liberty. Taylor's critique of negative liberty demonstrates the inevitability of strong evaluation and serves to highlight how therapy covertly offers ethical proposals while denying that it is doing so. A psychoanalytic case vignette illustrates how it would be possible to give an ethical frame to therapeutic aims. To locate standard conceptions of psychological health in the context of Taylor's history of the modern identity would emphasize their ethical significance and open the possibility to move therapy beyond the therapeutic.
• Smith, Nicholas H. "Interpretation for Emancipation: Taylor as a Critical Theorist." International Journal of Philosophical Studies : IJPS 29, no. 5 (2021): 673-688.
  Abstract:
  The paper argues that we should read Taylor's philosophy as a philosophy of liberation and that it is as a philosopher of liberation that Taylor distinguishes himself as a critical theorist. It begins with a short outline of Taylor's theory of freedom, emphasising the conception it contains of the process of becoming free. It then looks at Taylor's view of the role theory can take in that process. The liberating power of theory isn't something that Taylor often remarks explicitly upon, but from the few remarks he does make it is clear that he sees his own theory as potentially having such a power. The discussion then turns to the tasks of critical theory. After summarising these tasks, the paper considers how Taylor attempts to address them in his own work. The point of the discussion is not just to show the convergence between Taylor's theoretical agenda and that of critical theory, but also to indicate how critical theory can learn from the integration in Taylor's work of the tasks critical theory sets itself. The paper concludes by noting a dilemma that faces critical theorists who aspire to such integration today.
• Vanheeswijck, Guido. "'My Kind of Catholic.' on Taylor's Contribution to Philosophy of Religion." International Journal of Philosophical Studies : IJPS 29, no. 5 (2021): 759-775.
  Abstract:
  Many critics observe a methodological flaw in Taylor's work. They claim that there is an alleged discrepancy between Taylor's historical approach on the one hand and his defense of fullness in terms of openness to transcendence on the other. This article challenges this verdict by disambiguating the relation between the role of history in Taylor's narrative and his personal defense of fullness in terms of religious openness to agapeic transcendence. In order to underpin this position, I first assess the originality of Taylor's analysis of the historical origin of secularization by comparing his master reform narrative with other stories of secularization (§2), in particular that of Marcel Gauchet (§23). The outcome of this comparison leads to the question regarding the ontological presence of transcendence as a religious experience of fullness. Taylor's answer to this question is evaluated from an epistemological stance (§4) and a more general cultural approach (§5). In order to retrieve a religious experience of fullness, Taylor highlights the important role of what he calls subtler languages (§6). Finally, the question is raised how subtle words in a 'post-revolutionary climate' may retrieve that personal, religious experience of fullness (§7).

  Abstract:
  La notion d'identité est au centre de la conscience moderne, mais elle paraît en même temps si problématique, entretenant à la fois des confusions intellectuelles déplorables et des passions politiques dangereuses, que beaucoup de penseurs contemporains n'y voient qu'une fiction idéologique et préfèrent s'en passer dans leur analyse des représentations qui s'en réclament. C'est l'un des principaux mérites de charles taylor d'avoir transformé cette notion embrouillée en point de départ d'une interrogation rigoureuse sur la modernité comme expérience historique. les textes réunis dans ce volume, issus d'un colloque consacré à l'auteur des sources du moi, témoignent de la fécondité de cette interrogation dans ces domaines extrêmement variés, allant de la recherche conceptuelle la plus abstraite à la discussion de problèmes politiques aussi actuels que l'avenir de l'etat-providence ou le statut des minorités.

  Abstract:
  This book provides a timely, compelling, multidisciplinary critique of the largely tacit set of assumptions funding Modernity in the West.  A partnership between Michael Polanyi  and Charles Taylor's thought promises to cast the errors of the past in a new light, to graciously show how these errors can be amended, and to provide a specific cartography of how we can responsibly and meaningfully explore new possibilities for ethics, political society, and religion in a post-modern modernity.

  Abstract:
  Charles taylor is currently one the most renowned and influential contemporary philosophers. he is also widely quoted and discussed both in the social sciences and humanities. taylor earns this attention through his remarkable capacity for presenting his conceptions in the broadest possible intellectual and cultural context. his philosophical intuition is fundamentally antinaturalistic, and tends toward developing broad syntheses without a trace of systematizing thinking, or any anarchic postmodernist methodology. his thought unites the past with the present, while culture is treated as a broad mosaic of discourses. religion, art, science, philosophy, politics and ethics are all fields through which the canadian philosopher deftly moves about in his search for their hidden structures and deepest sense. taylor's philosophical output is prodigious. recently, as his monumental study A secular age (2007) indicates, he has been concentrating much of his attention on the problem of secularization..
  the selection of contributions in the current volume proffer a penetrating cross section of taylor's thought. they are derived from a conference held in october 2008 in lublin, poland although some of the articles are focused on a reconstruction of the philosopher's concepts, most either engage in a polemic with elements of his thought or find inspiration in it for their own reflections. the contributions are grouped in four parts: 1) philosophy and the modern self; 2) the problem of secularization; 3) between liberalism and communitarianism; and 4) language, literature, and culture.

  Abstract:
  A comprehensive appraisal of Charles Taylor's philosophical writings by some of the most prominent contemporary philosophers and political theorists. There are few philosophical questions to which Charles Taylor has not devoted his attention. His work has made powerful contributions to our understanding of action, language, and mind. He has had a lasting impact on our understanding of the way in which the social sciences should be practised, taking an interpretive stance in opposition to dominant positivist methodologies. Taylor's powerful critiques of atomistic versions of liberalism have redefined the agenda of political philosophers. He has produced prodigious intellectual histories aiming to excavate the origins of the way in which we have construed the modern self, and of the complex intellectual and spiritual trajectories that have culminated in modern secularism. Despite the apparent diversity of Taylor's work, it is driven by a unified vision. Throughout his writings, Taylor opposes reductive conceptions of the human and of human societies that empiricist and positivist thinkers from David Hume to B.F. Skinner believed would lend rigour to the human sciences. In their place, Taylor has articulated a vision of humans as interpretive beings who can be understood neither individually nor collectively without reference to the fundamental goods and values through which they make sense of their lives. The contributors to this volume, all distinguished philosophers and social theorists in their own right, offer critical assessments of Taylor's writings. Taken together, they provide the reader with an unrivalled perspective on the full extent of Charles Taylor's contribution to modern philosophy.

  Abstract:
  Being formed through learning a practice is best understood within a constitutive theory of meaning as articulated by charles taylor. disengaged views of the person cannot account for the formative changes in a person’s identity and capacities upon learning a professional practice. representational or correspondence theories of meaning cannot account for formation. formation occurs over time because students actively seek and take up new concerns and learn new knowledge and skills. engaged situated reasoning about underdetermined practice situations requires well-formed skillful clinicians caring for particular patients in particular situations.

  Abstract:
  Genomics has brought biology, medicine, agriculture, psychology, anthropology, and even philosophy to a new threshold. in this new context, the question about “what is human in humans” may end up being answered by geneticists, specialists of technoscience, and owners of biotech companies. the author defends, in this article, the idea that humanity is at risk in our age of genetic engineering, biotechnologies, and market-geared genetic research; he also argues that the values at the very core of our postgenomic era bring to its peak the science-based ideology that has developed since the time of galileo, newton, descartes, and harvey; finally, it shows that the bioindustry has invented a new genomythology that goes against the scientific evidence produced by the research in human sciences in which life is interpreted as a language.

  Abstract:
  This article provides an introduction to the articles in this theme issue. this collection examines epistemological, ontological, moral and political questions in medicine in light of the philosophical ideas of charles taylor. A synthesis of taylor's relevant work is presented. taylor has argued for a conception of the human sciences that regards human life as meaningful–deriving meaning from surrounding horizons of significance. an overview of the interdisciplinary articles in this issue is presented. this collection advances our thinking in the philosophy of medicine as well as the philosophy of charles taylor.

• Dreyfus, Hubert L. "Medicine as Combining Natural and Human Science." Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 36, no. 4 (August 01, 2011): 335-341.
  Abstract:
  Medicine is unique in being a combination of natural science and human science in which both are essential. therefore, in order to make sense of medical practice, we need to begin by drawing a clear distinction between the natural and the human sciences. in this paper, I try to bring the old distinction between the geistes and naturwissenschaften up to date by defending the essential difference between a realist explanatory theoretical study of nature including the body in which the scientist discovers the causal properties of natural kinds and the interpretive understanding of human beings as embodied agents which, as charles taylor has convincingly argued, requires a hermeneutic account of self-interpreting human practices.

  Abstract:
  Many people feel uneasy about enhancement technologies, yet have a hard time explaining why. this unease is often less with the technologies themselves than about the desires and aspirations that they express. I suggest here that we can diagnose the source of that unease by looking at three themes that emerge in Taylor’s writings about the making of the modern self: The importance of social recognition, the ethics of authenticity, and the rise of instrumental reason.
• Kirmayer, Laurence J. "Multicultural Medicine and the Politics of Recognition." Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 36, no. 4 (August 01, 2011): 410-423.
  Abstract:
  Health care services increasingly face patient populations with high levels of ethnic and cultural diversity. cultures are associated with distinctive ways of life; concepts of personhood; value systems; and visions of the good that affect illness experience, help seeking, and clinical decision-making. cultural differences may impede access to health care, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment. the clinical encounter, therefore, must recognize relevant cultural differences, negotiate common ground in terms of problem definition and potential solutions, accommodate differences that are associated with good clinical outcomes, and manage irresolvable differences. clinical attention to and respect for cultural difference (a) can provide experiences of recognition that increase trust in and commitment to the institutions of the larger society, (b) can help sustain a cultural community through recognition of its distinct language, knowledge, values, and healing practices, and (c) to the extent that it is institutionalized, can contribute to building a pluralistic civil society.

  Abstract:
  This paper provides a brief overview and critique of the dominant objectivist understanding and use of illness narrative in enlightenment (scientific) medicine and ethics, as well as several revisionist accounts, which reflect the evolution of this approach. in light of certain limitations and difficulties endemic in the objectivist understanding of illness narrative, an alternative phronesis approach to medical ethics influenced by charles Taylor’s account of the interpretive nature of human agency and language is examined. to this end, the account of interpretive medical responsibility previously described by schultz and carnevale as “clinical phronesis” (based upon Taylor’s notion of “strong” or “radical evaluation”) is reviewed and expanded.the thesis of this paper is that illness narrative has the ability to benefit patients as well as the potential to cause harm or iatrogenic effects. this benefit or harm is contingent upon how the story is told and understood. consequently, these tales are not simply “nice stories,” cathartic gestures, or mere supplements to scientific procedures and decision making, as suggested by the objectivist approach. rather, they open the agent to meanings that provide a context for explanation and evaluation of illness episodes and therapeutic activities. this understanding provides indicators (guides) for right action. hence, medical responsibility as clinical phronesis involves, first, the patient and provider’s coformulation and cointerpretation of what is going on in the patient’s illness narrative, and second, the patient and provider’s response to interpretation of the facts of illness and what they signify–not simply a response to the brute facts of illness, alone. the appeal to medical responsibility as clinical phronesis thus underscores the importance of getting the patient’s story of illness right. it is anticipated that further elaboration concerning the idea of clinical phronesis as interpretive illness narrative will provide a new foundation for medical ethics and decision making.
• Stoljar, Natalie. "Informed Consent and Relational Conceptions of Autonomy." Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 36, no. 4 (August 01, 2011): 375-384.
  Abstract:
  The received view in medical contexts is that informed consent is both necessary and sufficient for patient autonomy. this paper argues that informed consent is not sufficient for patient autonomy, at least when autonomy is understood as a “relational” concept. relational conceptions of autonomy, which have become prominent in the contemporary literature, draw on themes in the thought of charles taylor. I first identify four themes in taylor's work that together constitute a picture of human agency corresponding to the notion of agency implicit in relational accounts of autonomy. drawing on these themes, I sketch two arguments against the position that informed consent secures autonomy. the first is that informed consent is an “opportunity” concept whereas autonomy is an “exercise” concept; the second is that informed consent requires merely weak evaluation and not strong evaluation. on taylor's analysis of agency, strong evaluation is required for agency and for autonomy.
• Weinstock, Daniel M. "How should Political Philosophers Think of Health?" Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 36, no. 4 (August 01, 2011): 424-435.
  Abstract:
  The political philosophy of health care has been characterized by considerable conceptual inflation in recent years. first, the concept of health that lies at its core has come to encompass ever-increasing aspects of individuals’ existences. and second, the emergence of the public health perspective has increased the range of resources relevant to health equity. this expansion has not been without cost. the decision to include more rather than less within the ambit of “health” is ultimately a moral/political rather than an ontological or metaphysical one, and there are several ethical reasons to define the scope of theories of distributive justice in health narrowly.

  Abstract:
  The idea of a Catholic modernity, first introduced by Charles Taylor in 1996, offers a third “grand strategy” of relating modernity and religion (transcendence) in our time. In this introduction, the project is presented: six leading authors from different religious traditions (David and Bernice Martin, Francis Schüssler Fiorenza, Robert Cummings Neville, Souleymane Bachir Diagne and Jonathan Boyarin) examine the idea of a Catholic modernity and Taylor responds to their reflections and looks back 25 years on.

  Abstract:
  For two main reasons, I am not much tempted to articulate a “Jewish modernity” analogous to “a Catholic modernity” as presented by Charles Taylor. First, modernity is “lost”. In the last decades, dreams of a bright secular future of modernity (“later is better”) have collapsed. This affects also the possible role one envisages for non-scientific allegiances and worldviews. It renders this engagement with Taylor seem almost nostalgic or retrospective. Second, I have reservations about many of the concepts Taylor is using. Some of them, like theology and transcendence, are specific to a tradition in ways that must be specified. Others, like religion, the secular and modernity, likewise demand more definite settings. Taylor’s generous Catholicism, extending to the (pre-Christian) past, is a post-Catholicism as it attempts, like various post-Judaisms, to find a new place for Catholicism in a modernity characterized by skepticism and naturalism. Finally, Taylor’s critique of “rights talk” is contrasted to a Jewish notion of mutual obligation.

  Abstract:
  In a time when the two major strategies followed by Christian religious traditions in modernity have lost traction—Christendom and subcultural isolation on the one hand and liberal and socialist assimilation with modernity on the other hand—Charles Taylor’s Catholic modernity idea opens up a “third grand strategy,” a new perspective on the relationship between religion and modernity. Moreover, the perspective can be put to use in other religious traditions as well. We will, hence, argue for the extension from a Catholic modernity to a religious modernities perspective. With the help of the arguments and suggestions as well as the critiques put forward by Taylor and the other authors in this volume Modernity and Transcendence, we will chart some of the main axes of this vast research field: (1) the clarification of Catholic/religious modernity; (2) the generalization of the Catholic modernity idea into a religious modernities perspective; (3) the invention of an inspiring, post-Christendom Christianity/post-fusional religion and theology; (4) the issue of religious engagement in our time—what Taylor calls “the Ricci project”; (5 and 6) the need for encompassing theories of modernity and religion (transcendence).
• Diagne, Souleymane Bachir. "Time, Transcendence in Islamic Thought and an Embrace of “Catholic Modernity”." NTT Journal for Theology and the Study of Religion 75, no. 3 (2021): 429-440.
  Abstract:
  Taylor characterizes Western modernity as being very inhospitable to the transcendent, yet also as opening an opportunity for a renewed engagement with the transcendent from within modernity. This debate is also vivid in Islam and I will reconstruct it by focusing on the concept of time (dahr). Some strains in Islam condemned the posture of maximizing the “flourishing of life” within the limits of (a life)time as dahriya because it would, in their eyes, constitute a rejection altogether of the transcendent. This position was seen as the quintessence of “the philosophers” (al Ghazali) and of Western modernity (al Afghani). Opposing this view, I will then explain how and why I can make a rapprochement between Charles Taylor’s proposal of a “Catholic modernity” and Islamic modernity through the lenses of Muhammad Iqbal’s philosophy of time. Through his analysis of the hadith “Do not vilify time, because time is God,” Iqbal shows that time (dahr) should not be considered as the antithesis of transcendence, but that in time, from within dahr, transcendence is present: in “creative evolution” (Bergson), life is not enclosed in immanence, but on the contrary God is manifesting himself under his name dahr.
• Fiorenza, Francis Schüssler. "Transcendence, Catholicism and the Challenges of Modernity." NTT Journal for Theology and the Study of Religion 75, no. 3 (2021): 371-396.
  Abstract:
  This essay first outlines the distinctive and significant features of Taylor’s interpretation of modernity and secularization, especially, his emphasis on the immanent frame within a naturalism closed to transcendence. The essay then offers some different perspectives, not intended as a critique of Taylor, but rather to underscore elements in need of greater emphasis. My perspective acknowledges more lines of continuity between modernity and previous times. Traditional theological affirmations of infinity, omnipresence, and creativity have in the past spurred negative and apophatic theologies. They have also sought an interpretation of transcendence as embedded in the world of nature and human life in ways that point to the sacral and sacramental character of the world and human behavior. These interpretations can be retrieved to think the modern world as suffused with transcendence. Transcendence is not closed to modern buffered selves. Many exemplify a transcendence that goes beyond their own interests. They are aware of their finitude and realize that transcendence is a mystery.
• Martin, Bernice. "A Pentecostal Modernity? Response to Charles Taylor’s “A Catholic Modernity?”." NTT Journal for Theology and the Study of Religion 75, no. 3 (2021): 337-370.
  Abstract:
  There are somewhere between 200 million and 600 million Pentecostal/ Charismatic Christians in the world today. Most of them live in the “majority world,” and two thirds are women. Pentecostals are proud of being modern and frequently boast of it. Yet “Pentecostal modernity” is not a straightforward clone of the intellectual and political history of Europe and the North Atlantic. It contains paradoxical elements that can be plausibly interpreted as evidence of purposefully moral selectiveness by Pentecostals among the items in the “modern” cultural program. They in effect help to “heal the wounds of modernity.” This account of Pentecostal modernity also seeks to show that in two particular respects Pentecostal modernity might be considered a “correction” of Charles Taylor’s western model of modernity: in regarding human flourishing as spiritually sanctioned; and in retaining a porous model of the self, vertically open to possession by the Spirit or by forces of evil, and horizontally open by retaining some “dividual” characteristics of embeddedness with others.
• Martin, David. "Pointing to Transcendence: Reflections from an Anglican Context." NTT Journal for Theology and the Study of Religion 75, no. 3 (2021): 310-336.
  Abstract:
  After a critical examination of western master narratives of modernization and secularization, David Martin focuses, first, on one of the variants of Christian modernity, Anglican modernity. The Anglican Church provides a simulacrum of the universal church as it ranges from the Catholic to the Evangelical and Pentecostal and is, hence, rigged also by many of the problems confronting the church in the contemporary world. Next, Martin considers some examples of unanchored spirituality and free-floating faith that have, in his opinion, no serious future as major expressions of Christianity—he discusses, in particular, Schumann’s paradigm of Romantic music. Though inevitably fallible, churches are to be regarded as pointers to transcendence, opening, in the words of William Blake, “the doors of perception.” Without the institutional church to protect and perpetuate the Christian language of transcendence and provide ritual re-enactment of the Christian story of ruin and restoration, the Anglican/Christian vision would be as vulnerable and ephemeral as most contemporary forms of non-institutional, un-anchored “spirituality” [the editors].
• Neville, Robert Cummings. "Confucian Modernity, Ultimacies, and Transcendence." NTT Journal for Theology and the Study of Religion 75, no. 3 (2021): 397-428.
  Abstract:
  I want to engage Taylor with a comparative Confucian vision of modernity. In order to do this, I need to present a metaphysics which can serve as a framework for comparisons necessary for a global philosophical historical perspective on modernity and transcendence and in which, in particular, I can represent both Christian and Confucian categories as alternative specifications of ultimate reality. Using non-personalistic metaphors of spontaneous emergence and stressing (dis)harmonies, Confucian philosophy gives its own specification of the ultimate conditions of human life. This will allow me to sketch how Confucian modernists might engage with modernity. I will thus defend in Confucian terms Taylor’s claim that genuine religious transcendence is possible within the conditions of modernity.

  Abstract:
  This essay develops central themes which I have originally set out in my lecture “A Catholic Modernity?” of 1996. I extend those initial reflections by offering further considerations which I have elucidated over the last 25 years.

I also sketch a multi-layered hermeneutical approach for “reading the signs of the times” from a Christian perspective.
• Multiculturalism: Examining the Politics of Recognition. Amy Gutmann, ed. (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1994).
  Abstract:
  A new edition of the highly acclaimed book multiculturalism and "the politics of recognition," this paperback brings together an even wider range of leading philosophers and social scientists to probe the political controversy surrounding multiculturalism. Charles Taylor's initial inquiry, which considers whether the institutions of liberal democratic government make room--or should make room--for recognizing the worth of distinctive cultural traditions, remains the centerpiece of this discussion. it is now joined by Jürgen Habermas's extensive essay on the issues of recognition and the democratic constitutional state and by K. Anthony Appiah's commentary on the tensions between personal and collective identities, such as those shaped by religion, gender, ethnicity, race, and sexuality, and on the dangerous tendency of multicultural politics to gloss over such tensions. These contributions are joined by those of other well-known thinkers, who further relate the demand for recognition to issues of multicultural education, feminism, and cultural separatism.

  Abstract:
  Probably no book published in the last decade has been so ambitious as Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age. He seeks nothing less than to account for the spread of secularism and decline of faith in the last 500 years. Now a remarkable roster of writers—including Carl Trueman, Michael Horton, and Jen Pollock Michel—considers Taylor’s insights for the church’s life and mission, covering everything from healthcare to liturgy to pop culture and politics. Nothing is easy about faith today. But endurance produces character, and character produces hope, even in our secular age.

  Abstract:
  This article argues that a useful way of understanding charles taylor's political theory is to classify it as postliberal. this is in recognition of the synthesis between certain elements of liberalism and certain elements of communitarianism that taylor effects. the paper defines the postliberal debate as one which asks which aspects of traditional liberalism should be preserved and which ones jettisoned. it is further contended that the conception of postliberalism provides not just an angle on taylor's work but also provides a handle on a slice of contemporary anglo-american political theory.
• Ikäheimo, Heikki. "Taylor on Something Called 'Recognition'." Acta Philosophica Fennica 71 (2002): 99-111.
  Abstract:
  In the discussions on something called 'recognition' it is important to distinguish between three senses of the word: (1) identification of anything/-one, numerically as something/-one, and qualitatively as of some kind; (2) acknowledgement of norms, reasons, commitments, responsibilities, faults, etc.; and (3) recognitive attitudes of love, respect and esteem towards persons. it is also useful to distinguish between a recognizee-insensitive and a recognizee-sensitive conception of (3) recognition, and, following the latter conception, between valuing, holding in esteem and being recognized. with the help of these distinctions I analyze what it is exactly that charles taylor discusses under the catchword 'recognition' in "the politics of recognition".

  Abstract:
  This paper outlines and defends a 'culturalist' but nevertheless nonrelativistic theory of values. culturalist moral realism is cognitivist concerning our ordinary moral and evaluative reactions and responses to situations: Genuinely correct and incorrect (or better and worse) judgments are possible. these theses are reconstructed from charles taylor's writings, but authors like john McDowell and joseph raz hold similar views. not unimportantly, charles taylor would add a further thesis claiming that there are 'constitutive goods' which constitute the goodness of 'life goods', or which in other words bring about the fact that evaluative properties have value. this paper tries to show the coherence and appeal of culturalist moral realism without taking any stand on this further claim about constitutive goods.

  Abstract:
  The purpose of this paper is to reflect on charles taylor's contribution to the general debate over modernity. I start by taking a look at some general themes in this debate and situate taylor in it accordingly. I take up taylor's criticism for some of the current ways of theorizing modernity and then sketch his own alternative. taylor can be credited with making an important contribution to the "moral turn" in the discourse of modernity, as well as with delineating a broad view of the richness and complexity of the modern moral culture. I end the article with some contemporary challenges facing taylor's view.

  This essay reconsiders charles taylor's discussion of transcendental argumentation and his reading of wittgenstein's later philosophy, particularly the private language argument, as an example of such argumentation. taylor's criticism of naturalism and his defense of what may be labeled a "culturalist" philosophical anthropology are crucially related to this argumentative strategy. the problem of the factual grounding of normativity is explored as a major challenge for taylor's wittgensteinian view.

  The interview covers almost the whole range of charles taylor's political and intellectual endeavor. it starts with a discussion of his new project of exploring "modern social imaginaries" and of his interpretation of 9/11. this is followed by a critical re-examination of key concepts of social criticism, such as equality, justice, alienation or recognition, and of the role intellectuals can play today. the focus then shifts to taylor's political and intellectual background and his sources of inspiration, such as E.P. thompson, merleau-ponty or dostoyevsky. the last part seeks a clarification of contested aspects of taylor's philosophical approach such as his notions of culture, identity, personhood or strong evaluation and the somewhat uneasy relationship between moral realism and radical self-interpretation.

  Abstract:
  Charles taylor's opposition to representationalist conceptions of the tasks of philosophy is shared by several other philosophical movements, most notably pragmatism and contemporary advocates of hegelian idealism strongly influenced by pragmatism (e.g., robert pippin). the article considers what, if anything, the particular antirepresentationalist strategy adopted by taylor adds to these other forms of nonrepresentationalism. in this way it attempts to throw new light on the significance of taylor's project today.

  This work examines charles taylor's philosophy of practice, human agency, and practical reasoning in In Charles Taylors Landkarte, edited by Ulf Bohmann, Gesche Keding and Hartmut Rosa. Transitions. his approach to articulating strong evaluations and cultural self-understanding is illustrated by articulating clinical know-how and caring practices in clinical nursing. an atomistic, monological understanding of the self is critiqued. the paper argues that caring practices are grounded in shared public, historical worlds of human connections, common meanings, social practices and skills. A nursing ethic, "following the body's lead," is articulated as a notion of good and skillful practice that counters a technological imperative.

  Abstract:
  In 'sources of the self', charles taylor argues that one characteristic feature of modernity is the "affirmation of ordinary life." this affirmation is altogether worthy and should be affirmed. but is the affirmation of ordinary life really that secure? the author argues that ordinary life is under extraordinary pressure to succumb to certain features of late modernity. these include a growing 'scientization' and 'technologization' of human reproduction, up to and including modern eugenics that would intervene in the process of human reproduction in order to guarantee 'perfect' outcomes. philosophically, such developments are accompanied by rampant subjectivism. in the sphere of public life, the pressure put upon citizens by states, up to and including the wrenching of ordinary life in the name of political necessity, continues unabated, only partially checked by such counter-pressures as human rights. altogether, then, the affirmation of ordinary life is less secure than taylor would have it.

  Abstract:
  This essay (a contribution to a volume about the work of charles taylor) examines taylor's interpretation of descartes as the philosopher who champions the idea of a disengaged self, which can find no external guarantees of truth and morality, and must seek them in its own powers of reasoning. I argue that taylor oversimplifies descartes's epistemological and ethical positions, and that this oversimplification potentially undermines his overarching view that the history of philosophy charts the emergence of a disenchanted self, yearning for sources of moral authority.

  Abstract:
  I argue that charles taylor's conception of "strong evaluation" must be conceived as a normative rather than as a descriptive view of human agency. it is therefore possible for social conditions to be more or less propitious to the development of this ideal. I argue that a liberal society governed by the principle of neutrality is more likely to foster the ideal of strong evaluation than are the communitarian arrangements for which taylor has expressed a preference. I argue, finally, that taylor's arguments against liberal neutrality fail, because they do not recognize the neutrality can itself be the reflection of an ethical ideal.

  Abstract:
  This book presents a philosophical study of the idea of reenchantment and its merits in the interrelated fields of philosophical anthropology, ethics, and ontology. It features chapters from leading contributors to the debate about reenchantment, including Charles Taylor, John Cottingham, Akeel Bilgrami, and Jane Bennett. The chapters examine neglected and contested notions such as enchantment, transcendence, interpretation, attention, resonance, and the sacred or reverence-worthy—notions that are crucial to human self-understanding but have no place in a scientific worldview. They also explore the significance of adopting a reenchanting perspective for debates on major concepts such as nature, naturalism, God, ontology, and disenchantment. Taken together, they demonstrate that there is much to be gained from working with a more substantial and affirmative concept of reenchantment, understood as a fundamental existential orientation towards what is seen as meaningful and of value. The Philosophy of Reenchantment will be of interest to scholars and advanced students in philosophy—especially those working in moral philosophy, metaphysics, philosophy of religion, theology, religious studies, and sociology.

  Abstract:
  Due to an illicit extrapolation from ‘desacralization’ to ‘disenchantment’, a great deal of thinking influenced by the Weberian rhetoric around disenchantment failed to take into account the possibilities for the idea of ‘secular enchantment’. This chapter seeks to give a philosophical argument for a secular version of enchantment, and thereby show that, in one sense, we have never been disenchanted. It briefly then reconciles this conclusion with what is, nevertheless, undoubtedly true in Weber’s sociological instincts regarding the ‘disenchantment of the world’.

  Abstract:
  This concluding chapter gives an account of the discussion between Bennett and Bilgrami on how to understand enchantment, disenchantment, and reenchantment, and of their shared interest in the notion of a “call from outside.” It starts with Bennett’s commentary of Bilgrami’s essay “What Is Enchantment?” and ends with Bilgrami’s reply. There is no doubt that Bennett’s and Bilgrami’s conceptions of (re)enchantment have much in common: they both understand the world (nature, matter) in a non-mechanized, enchanted way by defending the idea that there is an external source of value to which we are responsive, and they also share a non-theistic notion of (re)enchantment that explicitly avoids reference to a transcendent creator-God. However, they give quite different answers to three central questions: How to conceive of nature and matter? Is there a need to “re-enchant” the secular world? What are the implications of (re)enchantment for our understanding of agency and ethics?.

  Abstract:
  It is not a question of reenchanting the world, but of dis-dis-enchanting ourselves. The world is and always has been a place of possible epiphanies, of peak experiences in which value is made directly available to us; if and when we are available to it. We don’t need to wave a magic wand over the world out there. We need to clear our eyes of the preconceptions and prejudices that fog our vision. Ever since Romanticism – and long before, too, as my second epigraph shows – one way to put this idea has been to talk about learning to see with the eyes of a child. Such talk is familiar and can seem merely sentimental or rhetorical. But it need not be either soppy or sloppy. There is a serious point to be made about the child, and the child’s perspective, in political philosophy. There is another serious point to be made about the child’s perspective in philosophy of mind. The points are related, and together they support what, provocatively perhaps, I shall call enchanted realism.

  Abstract:
  In this chapter, the author explores the prospect of a “perspectival” understanding of disenchantment and reenchantment to argue that reenchantment is best understood in terms of attention. The first part of the chapter clarifies that the experience of disenchantment is a result of our capacity for detachment; that is, it results from our ability to transcend our current point of view and to look at our beliefs, desires, and experience of the world from the outside. It is shown that this ability entails the phenomenon of disenchantment, because we realize that the world of meaning and value is not mirrored in the picture of the world that is provided by a strongly detached point of view. The second part argues that ethical inquiry requires a capacity for attention rather detachment. Following Simone Weil and Iris Murdoch, attention is presented as a way of perceiving the world that is both morally qualified (it seeks to perceive the world patiently, justly, and lovingly) and careful (it seeks to represent the world as it is). That is, attention involves a reenchantment of the world not in the sense that it repopulates the world with “spooky” or “queer” entities, but in the sense that it reveals what was there all along but was removed from sight under the influence of the detached point of view – in casu, value. Attention, the author concludes, is therefore vital for our ethical attempts to find out how to live and what to do.

  Abstract:
  The standard thesis of the disenchantment of the world appears as a self-referential claim maintaining something about the claimant. In a nutshell, it contends that we, moderns, live in a world that does not resonate with us, which is mute, indifferent, mindless, and therefore usable, exploitable, consumable, but not intrinsically worthy or meaningful. In my chapter, I discuss an alternative view of the relationship between self and world by taking three interrelated steps. First, starting from a first-person perspective, I wonder why the experiences of enchantment have to cave in and give way to disillusionment: is this an inescapable feature of the human condition and, if such is the case, what sort of inescapability are we dealing with here? Second, as long as episodes of enchantment do happen, I ask then what kind of human potential is embodied by them. Third, I inquire whether there are ways to account for the reasons supporting the two stances of enchantment and disenchantment without making them mutually incompatible by focusing on Hartmut Rosa’s theory of resonance and asking whether a resonant world can be plausibly described as a reenchanted world.

  Abstract:
  The ‘disenchantment’ of the world can be traced back to the tendency (from the early modern period onwards) to relegate meaning and value to the subjective domain, leaving us with a bleached out, value-free conception of objective reality. What might it be to recover a reenchanted understanding of the world, where meaning and value regain their objective status? Given that human beings appear to have an ineradicable need to ‘enchant’ their world in some way or another, it might be supposed that rejecting a theistic foundation for meaning and value leaves us free to devise alternative frameworks of our own to do the job. But could such a project succeed? The difficulty here is that of seeing how meaning and value could be constructed or invented, as opposed to being discovered or responded to. Yet if theism is true, we do not have to ‘reenchant’ the cosmos, since it is already enchanted, though not in any magical or ‘spooky’ sense, but because it is replete with objective beauty and goodness. Our task will then be to cultivate responsiveness to the properties that are already there. But the idea of a halfway house, where we can resist theism but preserve genuine objective value is an illusion. If we buy into a worldview that strips out value from the world, then nothing we can do will serve to put it back again.

  Abstract:
  This chapter aims to explore the theoretical potential of enchantment. It first turns to recent scholarship on two possible sources of Weber’s concept of disenchantment (‘Entzauberung’) in order to illuminate an inherent tension in the concept of enchantment (‘Zauber’). Then, it examines the recently revitalized debate on disenchantment in the second edition of Weber’s Protestant Ethic and argues that Weber’s specific use of this concept is marked by a consciously intended, unifying theoretical gesture. Finally, in line with a similarly unified conception of the idea of an enchanted world, new avenues for reflection on reenchantment are opened up by blurring the boundaries between different value spheres, most notably those of science, art and religion.

  Abstract:
  What does it mean to say of the natural world that it is enchanted? Should we be describing it in these terms? And if not, why not? I tackle these questions initially with reference to the supposedly secular conception of enchantment endorsed by John McDowell, and I argue that his naturalism can be rendered compatible with theism. If this is right, then there is room for allowing that the natural world is divinely enchanted, and I bring out the implications of this way of thinking, bearing in mind and responding to some familiar Nietzschean objections. I end on a mystical note.

  Abstract:
  In “Modern Moral Philosophy,” Elizabeth Anscombe makes a “disenchanting” move: she suggests that secular philosophers abandon a special “moral” sense of “ought” since she thinks this no longer makes sense without a divine law framework. Instead, she recommends recovering an ordinary sense of ought that pertains to what a human being needs in order to flourish qua human being, where the virtues are thought to be central to what a human being needs. However, she is also concerned to critique consequentialist views for their rejection of absolution prohibitions. This raises the question of whether the disenchanted form of Aristotelian ethical naturalism that she recommends to secular philosophers can support such absolute prohibitions. Anscombe expresses skepticism on this point and seems ultimately to recommend a divine law ethic, at least as a supplement to a neo-Aristotelian virtue ethic.
  This chapter takes issue with Anscombe’s view, in part: the author agrees that the disenchanted form of Aristotelian virtue ethics cannot support absolute prohibitions, but disagrees that appeal to divine law is the best way to understand these prohibitions since it misses the intrinsic reasons for them: namely, they concern that which is sacred or reverence-worthy, and thus should be regarded as inviolable and as involving a “special moral ought.” This means that a neo-Aristotelian virtue ethic that can properly recognize moral absolutes will need a reenchanting move: namely, it needs to recognize the special normative demands of the sacred. This chapter also explores the question of what “moral ontology” can best make sense of the moral phenomenology of the sacred, but the main aim is to show the significance of a common anti-consequentialist form of moral perception that involves a sense of the sacred.

  Abstract:
  “Reenchantment” and “ethics” can cover many things. In this chapter, I consider what might be involved in the reenchantment of ethics by contrasting two candidates for such reenchantment: the position called “robust realism” in metaethics and the recently proposed model of “humane philosophy” in the philosophy of religion. The aim of the analysis is to show that there are good and bad ways of reenchanting ethics, and that an overinvestment in quasi-scientific theorizing has prevented robust realism in particular from remaining true to the nature of moral experience. The argument has three steps. First, to define the experience of enchantment in terms of the realist appeal of moral values; second, to argue that recent robust realist attempts to rehabilitate this experience run the risk of falling into reification rather than reenchantment; and, third, to demonstrate that adopting a humane approach to ethics salvages our moral experience in a way that avoids the reification of value.

  Abstract:
  This interview with Charles Taylor explores a central concern throughout his work; namely, his concern to “reenchant” self and world through a careful examination of value as emanating from the world rather than from ourselves. It focuses especially on the status of his central doctrine of “strong evaluation” against the background of mainstream metaethical theories, such as neo-Kantian constructivism and robust realist non-naturalism. Additionally, the relationship between Taylor’s theism and his moral-political philosophy is discussed. A key issue that is examined is what ontological background picture can make sense of the strong evaluative experience of higher worth. Some other related issues that are explored revolve around Taylor’s papers “Disenchantment-Reenchantment” and “Recovering the Sacred,” which tentatively explore the meaning of reenchantment.

  Abstract:
  This chapter elaborates on the central issue in Part I, whether reenchantment is best expressed in theistic or in secular terms. In that perspective, it challenges the idea, common to many contemporary debates, that the transition from a premodern order to the modern world can be seen as part of a univocal and progressive disenchantment of Western culture, whereby religion simply falls away, to be replaced by science and rationality. Instead, it focuses on six different shades of meaning, related to as divergent domains as those of cosmology, ethics, epistemology, and religion in the field of genealogical research as to the concepts of enchantment/disenchantment. Next, the complex debate between historians, sociologists, and philosophers on the genesis of a disenchanted world and on the status of the Weberian position is presented. Against the background of this debate, the genealogical link between the religious search for transcendence and the process of disenchantment is assessed. Building on the discussion between Taylor and Bilgrami, it is concluded not only that the Christian notion of agapeic transcendence has been too quickly abandoned in the process of disenchantment, but that the retrieval of this notion is essential to understanding the very meaning of reenchantment in a secular world.

  Abstract:
  In my paper, I set The Language Animal against a broader picture of Charles Taylor’s intellectual trajectory. Sources of the Self (1989) left open three major questions: (a) the viability of religious moral sources in a ‘secular’ age; (b) the compatibility between a robust moral realism and a genealogical account of modern identity; and (c) the meaning and destiny of the so-called ‘linguistic turn.’ This is the framing topic of his last book. Although Taylor’s variety of hermeneutics is unquestionably a product of the linguistic turn, he has operated with a broad notion of the linguistic capacity from the start. Language is, for him, a shared activity and the acknowledgment of its animal embeddedness functions in his work as an antidote against any too idealized a view of the kind of creatures that humans are. In his earlier writings, however, a structural tension lurked below the surface between a Gadamerian notion of Sprache and a more phenomenological, Merleau-Pontyan, embodied outlook that was less modelled on articulate speech. My claim is that his new book marks a shift from a more speech-oriented to a more body-oriented understanding of language.

  Abstract:
  Human beings shape the landscapes of their individual, social, and political lives entangled in a web of language. Everything that human beings do, the way they act and think, is shaped by the use of language. Charles Taylor explores these anthropological dimensions of language. This article discusses three different aspects of Taylor’s language-oriented anthropology and confronts his considerations with three distinct questions concerning the relation between language and the lives of human beings. The first question is how Taylor’s constitutive view of language can be related to his criticism of the mediational view of language. Next, the relation between language and concepts is discussed. Finally, emotions are considered.

  Abstract:
  In my paper, I shall briefly explore a philosophy of performative speech acts, which is in line with Charles Taylor’s investigation into the human linguistic capacity. It complements the full shape of the linguistic capacity and gives an account of how reason enters thinking due to language. Language creates openness to reasons by, as I emphasize, means of a critique of self-deception, which could be accomplished by linguistic capacity.

  Abstract:
  In some strains of current philosophy, there is a growing interest in the passive and receptive aspects of the human condition. This interest is often paired with a criticism that ‘Western’ philosophy unduly neglects those aspects because of an ‘agential bias.’ This criticism has also been directed against the philosophy of Charles Taylor. I try to show that this criticism has some force in principle but is not plausible in the case of Taylor. First, I analyse John Rawls’ hugely influential concept of a life plan and show how this ‘agential bias’ applies here. Second, I argue that such a bias does not apply to Taylor’s The Language Animal by showing how active and passive moments are interwoven in his concepts of articulation and narration.

  Abstract:
  In The Language Animal, Charles Taylor’s struggle to provide a theoretical framework for his narration of the self finally becomes obvious. About 30 years after he wrote his great and fascinating Sources of the Self, Taylor closes the gap between the self as a radical being-in-the-world and its analytical premises. Even if the main topic of Taylor’s new book may seem to be only a comparison of what he calls ‘HHH-theory’ and ‘HLC-theory,’ there are two other authors, the combination of whose ideas clarifies not only his approach to language but also to his concept of ‘reality’ as such: Gottlob Frege and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

  Abstract:
  This paper focuses on the process of language acquisition in childhood. Departing from accounts—such as that of Jean Piaget, which considers cognitive development as the main condition of language acquisition—Taylor shows how deeply our linguistic capacity is rooted in a prior socio-affective realm of social spaces or communion. Beyond Taylor, the question arises as to whether one can identify different normative consequences for pedagogical practices, as well as for the status of childhood in social theory. The implications of Taylor’s language theory for the relation between human and world will be suggested by connecting the intrinsic dimensions of linguistic communication to the theory of resonance.

  Abstract:
  One of the features of an encompassing account of language that Charles Taylor examines in Chapter Five, “The Figuring Dimension of Language,” of The Language Animal is a special kind of metaphor, which is rooted in the embodiment of humans. Their perspective-taking, their intuition of position in space, etc., provide ‘structural templates’ for thinking and leave their traces in their expressions. Taylor compares these metaphors with paradigms. My paper discusses the differences between the two. Taylor’s example ‘Time Is a Resource’ is understood more deeply if seen as a paradigm, i.e., a set of beliefs and practices, instead of as a ‘structural template,’ i.e., rooted in embodiment.

  Abstract:
  Does the creative force of discourse Taylor describes enable the subaltern to speak for themselves? To answer this question, I underlay Jacques Rancière’s concept of politics. I correlate Charles Taylor’s opposition of HLC- and HHH-language theories to Rancière’s distinction of ‘politics’ and ‘police.’ However, since the creative force of discourse also re-enacts human order through rituals and repetitions, it is not political per se. I discuss Taylor’s example of the “avuncular” relationship to show at which point the creative force could turn into a fundament of politics and where it doesn’t.

  Abstract:
  In Chapter 8 of The Language Animal, Charles Taylor claims that narratives are unsubstitutable for an appropriate understanding of social life and ‘human affairs’ in general. In order to identify open questions in his argumentation as well as unwanted consequences of his outlook, I proceed in three consecutive steps. I first problematize Taylor’s distinction between laws and stories, then go on to address his intentional blurring of stories and histories, and finally suggest that the concept of genealogy might be a promising candidate for describing Taylor’s approach, concluding that he implicitly forms the equation: narrative equals history equals critique.

  Abstract:
  The extensive, profound and influential oeuvre of Charles Taylor has inspired generations of thinkers. But how can we explore such a body of work? As we try to show in this Special Issue: by understanding him literally and making use of his notion of moral maps – or, differently put, by ‘mapping’ Charles Taylor. As he is far too modest a person to reveal to us his own moral atlas, we have decided to seize the occasion of his 85th birthday to ask several of his renowned colleagues, students and interlocutors to contribute to the reconstruction of such a map. This introduction develops three ‘mountain ridges’ in this cartography – a philosophical anthropology in spatial terms, the indispensable motif of dialogue, and the role of political life –, around which the following 24 illuminating appraisals are grouped.

  Abstract:
  Taking advantage of the way in which charles taylor hinges his account of the rise of modern secularity around the year 1500, this article attempts a reassessment of some aspects of early modern thought which have been prominent in recent studies. in particular, it focuses on the thin boundary between illusion and reality, on the lure of scepticism, and on the changing role of the aristotelian notion of phronêsis in human action.

  Abstract:
  This article considers three aspects of taylor's A secular age: The issue of the status and authority of theological insights derived from sociological analyses; the irresolvable ambiguities of secularity, where it marks the disappearance of religion but inadvertently affirms its persistence; and the properties of nostalgia and memory that unexpectedly shape post-secularity and the forms of enchantment it seeks.

  Abstract:
  Following the fall of mainstream secularization paradigms, this article suggests opportunities arise for considering social and political life as ?religious? phenomena and, specifically, for using taylor's pregnant notion of ?social imaginaries? as a bridge between ?secular? and ?post-secular? social science. thus, themes implicit in A secular age are made explicit and used to challenge how social science is done in ?post-secular? times.

  Abstract:
  This article analyses three of taylor's principal theoretical moves: His basic account of secularity and related rejection of secularist ?subtraction stories?; his comprehension of historico-empirical realities in the light of a sort of philosophy of history; and his presentation of the transcendental quality of the experience of ?fullness?. motivated to contest taylor's framing of the ?unbeliever? as spirituality deprived and intellectually complacent, the coherence, content and rhetorical overkill of his argumentation in each of these areas is questioned.

  Abstract:
  Taylor addresses A secular age to an ?us? identified with the west. in this way the book is particularised and entered into a conversation. it is a prime example of the multiculturalism taylor acclaims. however the paper argues that the commitment to multiculturalism forces A secular age to downplay the importance of catholicism as an institution. it is contended that the book is a great work of catholicity (small "c") but in need of more catholicism (capital "C").

  Abstract:
  The author of this article confirms charles taylor's thesis that despite the growing spread of unbelief in modern society, i) religion remains an independent variable, ii) a creative ?back and forth? continues to occur between secular wisdom and religious faith, and iii) the difference between these two does not necessarily produce opposition between them. the author also agrees with the importance taylor attaches to the emergence of immanent humanism. yet the author disagrees with taylor's account of contemporary culture and religion as expressions of people's quest of identity; the article demonstrates instead that religion participates in all contemporary social movements.

  Abstract:
  In modern societies and cultures today, religion is widely perceived as basically even if not merely trivially ?optional.? this is a contention strongly advocated by charles taylor, most notably in his monumental A secular age. throughout his career, taylor has made the question of religion in modernity the core of his interests. in his most recent work, A secular age, taylor addresses challenging issues of what he calls the ?contemporary spiritual experience? and speaks to ?the spiritual hungers and tensions of secular modernity.? I critically consider three aspects of this immensely suggestive if not uncontroversial work: (1) I examine whether there is in fact a possible reversibility or revisability to the so-called ?optional? nature of belief that taylor thinks is characteristic of the secular age; (2) I scrutinize taylor's notion of ?immediacy? of belief in the same milieu; (3) I interrogate his use of the term ?fullness? in delineating the temper of the secular age.

  Abstract:
  While we are deeply appreciative of taylor's A secular age, we nonetheless worry that his use of the immanent/transcendent duality may introduce a certain kind of christian constantinianism that he wants to disavow. in particular, we worry that the immanent/transcendent duality is far too formal in its character. in order to develop this concern, we draw on talal asad's account of the secular to suggest how liturgy may provide an alternative way of understanding as well as challenging taylor's worries about ?the immanent frame.?

  Abstract:
  Some philosophers (stephen mulhall, peter winch, and D.Z. phillips) complained that in sources of the self charles taylor allowed his christian allegiance to ?peep through?, whereas, as a philosopher, he should have done justice to other views than his own, without taking sides. they would no doubt have protested even more about A secular age. reading these two books in the context of his previous work it becomes hard to accuse taylor of failing to expound fairly views he opposes, especially regarding british empiricism. moreover, how disinterested can critical genealogy of religion in the west ever be?

  Abstract:
  In this essay I explore, from a theologian's perspective, two questions which arise from the taylor's development of a genre addressing two quite different audiences: The social scientists and the theologians. in particular, it examines the relationship between theology and history and the relationship between believing, an act of faith and the imaginary. while accepting the conditions for believing in the age of enchantment differ from those in a secular and disenchanted age, the essay concludes by questioning whether an act of faith was any less difficult and by pointing out that if it was less difficult then theologically we need a more nuanced account of the relationship between god and history.

  Abstract:
  To analyse and explain charles taylor's understanding of secularity in terms of "optionality" or "plurality" and to illuminate the nature of the hypothetical stance and the virtuality of beliefs it entails requires one to engage in a larger than empirical and, as it were, deeper than merely historical inquiry, one that is, if not metaphysical, then at least ontological or preontological. the conditions of the secular age should, on this view, not be confused with the epistemological or, more broadly normative, criteriological terms that categorize experience and the search for the spiritual "fullness". as a consequence, neither specific elements or forms of belief nor their successive repudiation, neither historical nor empirical, neither sociological nor psychological findings will ever allow us to determine where or when, exactly, secularity begins, let alone suspect whether (where or when) it might very well come to an end. what is required is, rather, to take a step back and to investigate why and how the advocacy of "public secularity" and the broader assumption of the eventual practical and existential demise or irrelevance of faith -- which has been falsified by recent trends and current affairs in "global religion" -- could have emerged as a theoretical construct (and communis opinio) at all.

  Abstract:
  The essay explores charles taylor's "A secular age" and focuses on following shortcomings of the work: Is the separation of the sacred and the profane a loss or an intensivation of religiosity? does the kantian universalist ethics not represent an increased commitment to basic christian ideas? must not even atheism be interpreted as a step in the self-unfolding of the divine? taylor's remarkable work is interpreted as being too strongly committed to catholic personalism and not sufficiently familiar with the protestant theological tradition.

  Abstract:
  This article is my introduction, as the editor, to a book symposium on charles taylor's 'A secular age'. I point out that taylor's book focusses on "the entstehungsgeschichte of exclusive humanism": On the historical genesis, that is, of "the immanent frame" that is "common to all of us in the modern west". this "immanent frame", taylor claims, "some of us want to live as open to something beyond", but "some live as closed". in the book symposium this thesis is discussed from various perspectives (pragmatism, deconstruction, post-hegelian thought) by hans joas, hent de vries, and vittorio hösle.

  Abstract:
  Charles Taylor’s conception of the relationship between democracy and social creativity developed through a critical synthesis of various traditions, including the romantic movement and liberal political philosophy. however, it is argued that Taylor’s understanding of the implications of religion and revolution significantly differentiates his standpoint from that of pragmatism and theories of democratic creativity. Taylor’s defence of religious transcendence is shown to give rise to tensions with the latter perspective. the theorists of democratic creativity suggest that democracy originates in the rupturing of religious significations and their closure of meaning. taylor essentially inverts these arguments and perceives that the loss of transcendence may lead to a closed world structure. taylor claims that the dilemmas of the modern immanent frame were prefigured in the french Revolution’s inability to generate an institutional form consistent with its understanding of democracy and that social creativity should be qualified in light of this historical experience.

  Abstract:
  In A secular age, taylor introduces the idea of porous subjectivity by way of elucidating the mode of being typical of the enchanted pre-modern world, and juxtaposes it to the buffered self typical of the disenchanted modern world. the framing of the problem in this way, with the argument so clearly oriented as an attack on the latter position, risks a polarization that defaults to the former as the preferred option. these, though, are not our only choices. there is much to recommend Taylor’s notion of porous subjectivity as distinct from the buffered self of atomistic individualism. but taylor associates the emergence of the disenchanted world with disengaged reason, and the existence of an enchanted world with a deeper mode of engagement in the world. if we instead focus upon modes of engagement with the world separate from the question of enchantment, we can perhaps further our understanding of human subjectivity and relations with others.

  Abstract:
  After characterizing Taylor’s general approach to the problems of solidarity, we distinguish and reconstruct three contexts of solidarity in which this approach is developed: The civic, the socio-economic, and the moral. we argue that Taylor’s distinctive move in each of these contexts of solidarity is to claim that the relationship at stake poses normatively justified demands, which are motivationally demanding, but insufficiently motivating on their own. on Taylor’s conception, we need some understanding of extra motivational sources which explain why people do (or would) live up to the exacting demands. taylor accepts that our self-understanding as members of either particular communities or humanity at large has some motivational power, but he suspects that in many cases the memberships are too thin to resonate deeply and enduringly within us. in Taylor’s view, a realistic picture of what moves people to solidarity has to account for the extra motivation, when it happens. we propose an alternative view in which morality, democracy and socio-economic cooperation can be seen as separate spheres or relations which are normatively justified, motivationally demanding, but also sufficiently motivating on their own.

• Wie Wollen Wir Leben? Das Politische Denken Und Staatsverständnis Von Charles Taylor. Edited by Ulf Bohman. Baden-Baden: Nomos, 2014. In German.
  Abstract:
  Charles Taylor is a genuine political thinker. While a wider audience interested in political theory knows him best from the debates on communitarianism, his substantial approach is still mainly entertained in philosophy and the humanities in general. This volume aims to demonstrate the relevance, diversity, and fruitfulness of his political thought in particular. Pertinent experts contribute to this task. The book is divided into three parts: (I) constellations in intellectual history, (II) systematical concepts and positions, and (III) democracy and its institutions. Despite all the diversity in Taylor's political thought – assembled for the first time specifically in this volume – one unifying questions shines through: How do we want to live?
