October 23, 2008 | World-renowned philosopher Charles Taylor examined the picture that the narrative of Western secularity yields of our present situation, with particular attention to the phenomena of politico-religious mobilization in our time. This is the third of the 2008 Berkley Center lectures on the topic "Narratives of Secularity". The lectures surveyed the master narratives which have underpinned the secularization, explored more adequate ones, and hazarded a picture of the present predicament of religion and spirituality in the West.
Charles Taylor is one of the world's leading scholars working at the intersection of religion, secularity, and modernity. A philosopher open to other humanities and social science disciplines, he has authored many path-breaking books, including The Sources of the Self (1992), Multiculturalism: Examining the Politics of Recognition (1994) and, most recently, A Secular Age (2007). Taylor was for many years Professor for Political Sciences and Philosophy at the McGill University in Montreal, Canada, where he now serves as professor emeritus. He was awarded the Templeton Prize in 2007.
