Description

Charles Taylor's latest work offers a powerful critique of modern society and its values. In this thought-provoking book, he challenges readers to confront the moral and political crises of our time.

Taylor argues that our sense of identity is deeply rooted in our social relationships and that authenticity requires us to be faithful to something greater than ourselves. He also critiques two influential ideas: the notion that individual excellence is its own justification, and the idea that respecting differences means accepting all cultures without critique.
