	Noted Books - Charles Taylor (philosopher)
		Charles Taylor (born November 5, 1931) is a Canada philosopher known for his viewpoints on morality and modern western identity of individuals and groups.
		His principal philosophical standpoint is that of exclusive humanism — a humanism without reference to the transcendent, especially as it relates to cultural, social, or political life.
		Taylor was educated at the McGill University (B.A. in History in 1952) and at Oxford University (B.A. in Politics, Philosophy and Economics in 1955, M.A. in 1960, PhD in 1961).

	SSRC Salutes Charles Taylor
		Taylor's central interests in narrating the changing conditions of belief in the transcendent presents an invitation to social scientists to become more attentive to how the practices of belief change, and how religious and secular ideologies imagine and confront immanence and transcendence.
		Taylor has shown that political secularism is not an "optional extra." It is always flattering to hear him speak glowingly about my conception of secularism based on "principled distance." But really the idea is his own because the philosophical and intellectual conditions that made it possible stem entirely from his writings and outlook.
		Charles Taylor is one of the very few thinkers who could be considered among the foremost humanists and the foremost social scientists in the world.

	Introduction to Taylor's Politics of Recognition (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Taylor sketches in broad strokes the way the concept of recognition evolved from the notion of social status (in the French sense of preference) to that of political equality.
		Taylor makes several pointed comments, subsequently criticized by a number of scholars (see Susan Wolf's contribution to the volume), concerning the "worth" of cultures.
		Taylor rejects the idea that these are mutually exclusive "isms." Communitarians are right to insist that there are many different cultural/political traditions and that each has a valid claim to be recognized and respected.

	Charles Taylor
		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.
		One of the key assumptions that characterises Taylor's political philosophy is that the age of modernity and post-modernity is a pluralistic age.
		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.

	Amazon.com: A Secular Age: Charles Taylor: Books
		Taylor sweeps grandly and magisterially through the 18th and 19th centuries as he recreates the history of secularism and its parallel challenges to religion.
		Taylor's examination of the rise of unbelief in the 19th century is alone worth the price of the book and offers an essential reminder that the Victorian age, more than the Enlightenment, dominates our present view of the meanings of secularity.
		Taylor wants to lay out what it takes to go on believing in God, in the absence of any equivalent to the intellectual, cultural and imaginative surroundings in which pre-modern religion was quietly embedded.

		Taylor mentioned that at the end of this lecture, saying he watched it because his students had seen it, hated it, and mentioned that not everyone agreed with its ideas.
		Taylor used the example of the lectern, suggesting that if he wanted to teach the audience a new word for it, he would have to communicate the context to help them understand its meaning, defined by its precence in the lecture all, and that it was the thing behind which he spoke.

	Charles Taylor at First Drafts - The Prospect magazine blog
		Taylor is a practising Catholic, and his book can in some way be seen as a polemic against what he would presumably see as the dogmatic atheism of Dawkins, Hitchens et al.
		The trouble with Charles Taylor is that he never asks really fundamental questions re what we are as human beings and our relation to Reality and Truth altogether—-he accepts the usual entirely mortal meat-body model of Humankind, which is common to both scientism and exoteric religion, as the starting point for his speculations.
		Metaphysics was certainly largely unpopular amongst philosophers in the English speaking world for a period of about 50 years in the early 20th century; but reports of its death were, happily, exaggerated, and metaphysics as a discipline is currently flourishing.

	Philosopher Charles Taylor first Canadian to win Templeton Prize
		Charles Taylor, recipient of the 2007 Templeton Prize is photographed in New York, March 14, 2006.
		Taylor, 75, spoke of the "great affinity" he has for the goals of the Templeton Foundation, and said the bilingual environment in which he grew up in Quebec - his mother's native tongue was French, his father's English - gave him his investigative spirit.
		Because Taylor is revered for his thoughts, journalists and academics attending the reception used the question segment to focus on his philosophical analysis of the world's current trends - a central topic being the supposedly pending "clash of civilizations."

	Charles Taylor by Michael Milde (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While Taylor has been famously concerned with analysing the condition of 'modernity,' his approach is reminiscent, at least in scale, of the projects associated with philosophers such as Kant, Hegel, or Nietzsche.
		His philosophical interests are broad, ranging over ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, political philosophy, and philosophy of language.
		Taylor's views on language and its centrality to human existence are not accorded separate treatment; instead they are noted and discussed as core ingredients of each of the categories.

	Portrait: 'Charles Taylor' by Ben Rogers \| Prospect Magazine February 2008 issue 143
		Taylor has sometimes been classed as a "communitarian." But that term is misleading if it suggests someone unsympathetic to the modern values of freedom and self-expression.
		Taylor's move back to Canada in 1981 marked a new phase in his political career, this time as a leading commentator in debates about the future of the Canadian federation and Quebec's place in it.
		For Taylor, insofar as we live in a secular age, this means not that religion is in decline or has declined—in some places it is on the rise—but that there is no religious orthodoxy; that religion and scepticism live side by side, often in the same person.

		I invited Charles Taylor years ago to give a lecture at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington D.C. I asked him to speak on the topic of how we in the West went from the ancient idea of the soul to the modern idea of the self.
		Taylor's magnum opus is Sources of the Self, a magisterial account first published in 1989 of the origins of the modern identity.
		Taylor shows why James is still relevant and that even though some forms of the old-time religion don't make much sense today, in other ways religion is more relevant than ever to make practical sense of our lives.

		According to Taylor, there has to be a basic inclusiveness, which means 'our sense of patriotic identity takes pride in bringing everyone together to the negotiating table'.
		Charles Taylor is a former Professor of Social and Political Theory at Oxford University, and currently Professor of Political Science and Philosophy at McGill University.
		AS we look back on the 20th Century, we see that it was a period that saw the rise of such various philosophical movements as phenomenology, existentialism, structuralism, post-structuralism and, most recently, of post-modernism.

		Taylor is currently professor of law and philosophy at Northwestern University and professor emeritus at the philosophy department of McGill University in Montreal.
		The consequence of this excessive individualism, Taylor persistently argues, is that philosophers and social scientists have lost sight of the social and historical dimensions of truth and human personality.
		Taylor’s tradition-sensitive interpretation of the principles and ideals of the Enlightenment has led him to focus recently on the notion of a Catholic modernity.

	Charles Taylor is Very Wise » mattwiebe.com
		The Other Journal continues its long-running series engaging atheism, the latest of which is the first of three parts of an interview with Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor.
		Taylor recently wrote a massive book called A Secular Age (which I plan to read very soon) which has basically redefined the subject of secularism in the West.
		In the interview, Taylor discusses a bit of what his book covers—that the theory of secularization as the passing-away of religion is no longer credible—and also has a few scorching remarks about the current spate of “new” atheism.
