商品簡介
From a March 2014 humanities and social science conference in Bern, Switzerland that focused on Charles Taylor's concept of the secular, 16 papers discuss the potential of Taylor's story for various disciplines, the story's normative implications, the story's subtler languages, and Islamic stories. Among the topics are an order of mutual benefit: A Secular Age and the cognitive science of religion, the ambiguity of "post-secular" and "post-metaphysical" stories: on the place of religion and deep commitments in a secular society, the hidden quest of the West in an era of globalization: some remarks on the hidden meaning of Taylor's master narrative, secular moods: temporality and affection with A Secular Age, and reconsidering transcendence/immanence: modernity's modes of narration in 19th-century Arabic literary tradition.
