In 2007 I purchased Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor's massive, definitive A Secular Age. Since then, I have returned to Taylor-studies. His work is simply that important to understand our culture.
Tonight, late Sunday, I listened to this podcast, "How Charles Taylor Helps Us Understand Our Secular Age." It's excellent!
For more Taylor Reading, see...
Sources of the Self: The Making of Modern Identity
The Ethics of Authenticity (After reading this you can forget most of what you think 'authenticity' means.)
The Language Animal: The Full Shape of the Human Linguistic Capacity (Esp. interesting to me since my doctoral dissertation was on metaphor theory.)
How Not to Be Secular: Reading Charles Taylor, by James K. A. Smith
Our Secular Age: Ten Years of Reading and Applying Charles Taylor, by Collin Hansen
