In this episode Charles Taylor speaks about the way society is understood, the frame that contains it, how we live in this frame in different ways and what is needed to create progress and bring people together in a widening movement of positive ecumenism and friendship that undermines the movements of violence.
This Talk on New Ways of Wisdom was part of the John Main Seminar 2018: A Contemplative Response to the Crisis of Change 20-23 Sep, Bruges, Belgium.
Charles Taylor is a Canadian philosopher known for his examination of the modern self. Taylor’s first major work, Hegel (1975), was a large study of the 19th-century German philosopher that emphasized the ways in which Hegel’s philosophy continues to be relevant to contemporary political and social theory. In 1989 Taylor published Sources of the Self: The Making of the Modern Identity, which explored the multiplicity of the self, or the human subject, in the modern Western world.
