Listen "Philosopher today - Taylor"
Episode Synopsis
Charles Taylor examines modernity, defining secularity as a condition of many options, not merely religious decline. Key themes include the disciplined "buffered self," the moral ideal of authenticity, and the importance of qualitative distinctions in shaping identity. His critique targets reductive "subtraction stories" of modernization. He contrasts procedural liberalism with models supporting collective goals, emphasizing how shared moral sources underpin self-understanding and societal order.
