    Description: While the global COVID-19 pandemic forces us to maintain physical distance, it is more important than ever that we remain socially connected and in intellectual conversation. As part of this effort the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs is organizing the Global Religious and Secular Dynamics Discussion Series, featuring online public conversations on our contemporary global condition between renowned sociologist José Casanova, a Berkley Center senior fellow, and prominent scholars and intellectual friends.   The series’ inaugural event welcomed philosopher Charles Taylor for a conversation with Casanova about Taylor’s seminal work A Secular Age (2007) and the divergent religious dynamics that can coexist within our global secular age. They discussed the global crisis of democracy, the resurgence of exclusionary populisms and self-enclosed nationalisms, and lessons from the global pandemic about us as humans in our contemporary global condition. They also looked specifically to the Catholic tradition, examining the concept of a Catholic modernity, the multiple rites controversies, and the opening they might offer not only to multiple modernities, but to multiple Catholicities and to a global Church made up of many diverse local churches.   This event was co-sponsored by Georgetown University’s Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs and Reset Dialogues on Civilizations.

    Abstract:
    This interview with the Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor was designed and realized to celebrate his ninetieth birthday in November 2021. The interview touches on all the main themes of Taylor's oeuvre, from his view of philosophy to the inherent link between human intelligence and strong evaluations, from the Immanent Frame to postsecularity, from today's democratic crisis to the 1980s debate between liberals and communitarians, from Xi Jinping's China to the global health emergency, from spirituality to Philosophical Romanticism. It is both a hindsight analysis by a first-class thinker and a glance into the future by an incurable optimist.

    Abstract:
    Charles taylor explains a broader understanding of faith as well as of reason in his philosophical anthropology. in leading one’s own life, faith contains more than having certain beliefs, and reason grasps more than having scientific methods. taylor answers questions regarding the relation of his great narrative to the approaches of M. heidegger, M. merleau-ponty, M. foucault, K. jaspers, and S. eisenstadt (axial cultures and multiple modernities). insofar as the secularization of christianity involves ironic reversals, all main directions in western modernity (forms of religion, secular humanism, and anti-humanism) are faced with dilemmas. instead of looking for scapegoats in the others, all directions are called upon to cooperate. the open questionability of the human condition has no last answer.

    Abstract:
    Charles Taylor az egyik legnagyobb élő filozófus, a hatását legfeljebb Jürgen Habermaséhoz lehetne hasonlítani. Budapesten járt, hogy a CEU-n a demokráciáról adjon elő, ezért arról beszélgettünk vele, miért keresnek az autoriter vezetők egyre újabb jelzőket a demokrácia mellé, hogy politizálnia kell-e egy gondolkodónak, és miért bűn Magyarországon a multikulturalizmus. Azt is elmondta, miben látja a megoldást a xenofób populizmussal szemben, és hogy ki lehet jó példa a politikusok számára.

    Abstract:
    This interview with charles taylor explores a central concern throughout his work, viz., his concern to confront the challenges presented by the process of'disenchantment in the modern world. it focuses especially on what is involved in seeking a kind of 're-enchantment.' A key issue that is discussed is the relationship of taylor's theism to his effort of seeking re-enchantment. some other related issues that are explored pertain to questions surrounding taylor's argument against the standard secularization thesis that views secularization as a process involving the ineluctable fading away of religion. additionally, the relationship between taylor's religious views and his philosophical work is discussed.

    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 meta-ethical 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:
    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.

Taylor constate combien l'époque est porteuse d'espoir, et ce, en dépit de la présence croissante des idéologies et de la capacité des individus à raisonner dans le confort de leur bulle relationnelle. Pour lui, malgré tout, l'optimisme reste de mise : la curiosité insatiable de la jeunesse d'un côté et la généralisation des nouvelles technologies de l'autre constituent autant d'éléments susceptibles de transcender les cloisonnements et d'alimenter les confrontations d'idées. » Source : https://ici.radio-canada.ca/premiere/...

    Abstract:
    According to charles taylor secularization is not so much a process that has developed on neutral epistemic grounds, but rather on moral and spiritual grounds. one aspect of this process is the turn to 'personal religion' mediated by the reformation. this shift fits a broad cultural pattern that arose during modernity and that he refers to as the ethics of authenticity. this led not only to a rise in new kinds of religion and spirituality, but also in the number of people who are declaring themselves to be atheist or agnostic. in the interview, taylor explains how this process can be interpreted in terms of a gradual shift from a hierarchical social imaginary, where god is present in the sacred, to a horizontal social imaginary in the form of a providential design. he also discusses how the backlash against multiculturalism might be related to the process of secularization. http://www.ethical-perspectives.be/viewpic.php?LAN=E&TABLE=EP&ID=315
