Bøker av Charles Taylor

Charles Taylor delves into the poetry of the Romantics and their heirs, a foundation of his distinctive philosophy of language. Taylor holds that Romantic poetry responded to disenchantment: with old cosmic orders depleted, artists groped to articulate new meanings by bringing connections to life rather than merely reasoning abstractly about life.

Et sentralt kjennetegn ved Moderniteten er idéen om individualisme. Men med den har det moderne selvet havnet i et paradoks - autentisitetskulturen, med dens idé om at vi alle kan finne kilden til et verdifullt liv i vår egen private subjektivitet, forstår ikke at det moralske rom er et kollektivt rom.Man finner ikke frem til hva som er verdifullt ved å rote på soveværelset, derimot finner man det ved å analysere de historisk frembragte, kollektive forestillinger det moderne selvet har om seg selv. Charles Taylor er professor ved McGill University, Canada og leverer med Autentisitetens etikk (The Malaise of Modernity) et viktig bidrag til debatten om det moderne samfunnets grunnlag og fremtidsutsikter.
