Modern Social Imaginaries by Charles Taylor
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
“Charles Taylor presents a fundamental challenge to neoliberal apologists for the new world order—but not only to themAnyone who wishes, as I do, to defend transcultural political ideals, notions of development, or the like, will have to face his formidable array of hermeneutically inspired reflections on Western modernity’s defining cultural formations. His particular take on the ‘social imaginary’ makes the strongest case there is for the idea of ‘multiple modernities.’”—Thomas McCarthy, Northwestern University
Charles Taylor is Board of Trustees Professor of Law and Philosophy at Northwestern University, Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Philosophy at McGill University, and former Chichele Professor of Social and Political Theory at Oxford University.
