"In this book, Charles Taylor explains linguistic holism to people who believe language needs to be thought of as bits of information. According to one influential view of language, one that originated with Hobbes, Locke, and Condillac, language serves to encode information and to communicate it. This theory has been rendered more sophisticated over the last two centuries, but it still gives a central place to the encoding of information. The thesis of Taylor's new book is that this view neglects crucial features of our language capacity. Sometimes language serves not just to encode information, but also shapes what it purports to describe. This language is more than merely 'descriptive;' it plays a 'constitutive' role."--Provided by publisher.

A major and comprehensive study of the philosophy of Hegel, his place in the history of ideas, and his continuing relevance and importance. Professor Taylor relates Hegel to the earlier history of philosophy and, more particularly, to the central intellectual and spiritual issues of his own time. He sees these in terms of a pervasive tension between the evolving ideals of individuality and self-realization on the one hand, and on the other a deeply-felt need to find significance in a wider community. Charles Taylor engages with Hegel sympathetically, on Hegel's own terms and, as the the subject demands, in detail. We are made to grasp the interconnections of the system without being overwhelmed or overawed by its technicality. We are shown its importance and its limitations, and are enabled to stand back from it.

Il est d’usage de dire que nous appartenons à un « âge séculier ». Nous, c’est-à-dire les membres des sociétés occidentales modernes, dont, qu’on s’en félicite ou qu’on le déplore, les églises se vident. Comment est-on passé d’un temps, pas si lointain, où il était pratiquement inconcevable de ne pas croire en Dieu, à l’époque actuelle, où la foi n’est plus qu’une possibilité parmi d’autres et va jusqu’à susciter la commisération ? L’une des explications les plus courantes de cette évolution consiste à affirmer qu’à la faveur des progrès de la science, la vérité aurait finalement triomphé de l’illusion, nous poussant à ne chercher qu’en nous-mêmes notre raison d’être et les conditions de notre épanouissement ici-bas. En révélant les impensés de ce récit classique de la victoire de l’humanisme qui fait du « désenchantement du monde » la seule clé de l’énigme, Charles Taylor entreprend une relecture intégrale de la modernité. Loin d’être une « soustraction » de la religion, la sécularisation est un processus de redéfinition de la croyance qui a vu se multiplier les options spirituelles. Si plus aucune n’est en mesure de s’imposer, les impasses du « matérialisme » et les promesses déçues de la modernité continuent d’éveiller une quête de sens.

One of the most influential philosophers in the English-speaking world, Charles Taylor is internationally renowned for his contributions to political and moral theory, particularly to debates about identity formation, multiculturalism, secularism, and modernity. In Modern Social Imaginaries, Taylor continues his recent reflections on the theme of multiple modernities. To account for the differences among modernities, Taylor sets out his idea of the social imaginary, a broad understanding of the way a given people imagine their collective social life. Retelling the history of Western modernity, Taylor traces the development of a distinct social imaginary. Animated by the idea of a moral order based on the mutual benefit of equal participants, the Western social imaginary is characterized by three key cultural forms-the economy, the public sphere, and self-governance. Taylor's account of these cultural formations provides a fresh perspective on how to read the specifics of Western modernity: how we came to imagine society primarily as an economy for exchanging goods and services to promote mutual prosperity, how we began to imagine the public sphere as a metaphorical place for deliberation and discussion among strangers on issues of mutual concern, and how we invented the idea of a self-governing people capable of secular "founding" acts without recourse to transcendent principles. Accessible in length and style, Modern Social Imaginaries offers a clear and concise framework for understanding the structure of modern life in the West and the different forms modernity has taken around the world.
