Description
Charles Taylor's Modern Social Imaginaries explores the concept of a social imaginary, a broad understanding of how a people imagine their collective social life. Taylor examines the development of a distinct social imaginary in Western modernity, tracing the evolution of cultural forms such as the economy, public sphere, and self-governance. This framework provides a clear understanding of how Western modernity came to be characterized by these key cultural formations.
