Description
A Secular Age by Charles Taylor is a monumental work of philosophy and social theory that explores the historical development and complexities of secularism in the modern Western world. Published in 2007, this book investigates how Western societies transitioned from a time when belief in God was virtually unchallenged to an era where faith is just one option among many, and often not the easiest to embrace. Taylor rejects the simple narrative that modernity inevitably leads to the decline of religion. Instead, he provides a nuanced account of how secularization has reshaped not only religious belief but also individual identity, social practices, and the cultural landscape. He distinguishes between different meanings of "secular" and explores how modern people live in what he calls the "immanent frame"—a worldview focused on human flourishing within the bounds of the material world, often disconnected from transcendent belief. A Secular Age is not just a historical study but a profound meditation on the conditions of belief and unbelief in the contemporary world. Taylor examines the rise of humanism, the persistence of spiritual longing, and the tensions between faith and modernity. This groundbreaking book is essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy, religion, sociology, and the complex cultural shifts that shape our modern secular societies.
