Critics Review
“In the contemporary philosophical landscape, Charles Taylor is a towering figure. Based on the classic idea that humans are self-interpreting animals, he has developed a systematic and historically situated body of work ranging from the philosophy of mind and language to central issues of political philosophy such as multiculturalism and secularism. The superb essays in this volume by a group of remarkable thinkers shed new light on Taylor’s unique oeuvre. An essential conversation about the Geist of our age.” Rainer Forst, Goethe University Frankfurt
