		Taylor then goes on to develop a magnificent account of the philosophical sources of the modern Western self, starting with Plato's self-mastery and working his way through to what he calls the 'epiphanies of modernism'.
		Taylor's efforts at 'philosophical archaeology' in Sources of the Self follow from his claim that articulation of the self's sources is an essential part of the antidote to the malaise of modernity.
		Taylor argues for the possibility of a transvaluation of goods that would open the way for a reconciliation of the demands of pluralism, which he believes can be achieved through what he calls a language of perspicuous contrast.

	TPMmuckraker: Charles Taylor Archives
		Charles Taylor (R-NC) has a remarkable talent for steering federal dollars to benefit properties that he owns, The Wall Street Journal reports this morning.
		For Taylor, a large landowner in the mountains of western Carolina, the issue comes down to principle: The federal government is already the largest landowner in the country, and he believes that no additional tax dollars should go to more land buying for this or any other memorial.
		The AP reported in November that "Taylor said he intervened because he wanted to preserve the program so the Eastern Band of Cherokee in his state could eventually win money." But it would seem that preserving the program and abusing the program so that a wealthy tribe got free money should be two different things.

	Charles Taylor - Varieties of Religion Today: William James Revisited - Reviewed by Philip L. Quinn, University of ...
		Taylor praises James for telling us more than anyone else about what it is like to stand on the cusp between these two great options, having little or nothing more to go on than the gut feeling that there may be something of tremendous importance at stake in oneâs decision.
		Taylor is, of course, too shrewd to fall prey to the illusion that all, or almost all, contemporary believers are happy with his post-Durkheimian dispensation.
		Taylor may intend to defuse criticism of this kind by remarking on âthe unfortunate fact that James is neglected by contemporary academic philosophers, with a few honorable exceptionsâ (22).
