Description
Beyond the Secular West by Akeel Bilgrami explores how secularism has evolved and spread globally, beyond its origins in Latin Christendom. This collection of essays examines the transformation of Western secularism into a complex export shaped by local religious and political systems. The contributors, including Charles Taylor, offer diverse perspectives on the phenomenon, ranging from intellectual to methodological approaches. By applying Taylor's findings on the emergence of secularism in Latin Christendom to global contexts, this volume fosters a greater understanding of secularism across disciplines. A valuable addition to ongoing debates about secularism and its implications for democracy, colonialism, and governance, Beyond the Secular West provides new insights into the nature and impact of modern secularism.
