Charles Taylor delves into the poetry of the Romantics and their heirs, a foundation of his distinctive philosophy of language. Taylor holds that Romantic poetry responded to disenchantment: with old cosmic orders depleted, artists groped to articulate new meanings by bringing connections to life rather than merely reasoning abstractly about life.

The Explanation of Behaviour was the first book written by the renowned philosopher Charles Taylor. A vitally important work of philosophical anthropology, it is a devastating criticism of the theory of behaviourism, a powerful explanatory approach in psychology and philosophy when Taylor's book was first published. However, Taylor has far more to offer than a simple critique of behaviourism. He argues that in order to properly understand human beings, we must grasp that they are embodied, minded creatures with purposes, plans and goals, something entirely lacking in reductionist, scientific explanations of human behaviour. Taylor's book is also prescient in according a central place to non-human animals, which like human beings are subject to needs, desires and emotions. However, because human beings have the unique ability to interpret and reflect on their own actions and purposes and declare them to others, Taylor argues that human experience differs to that of other animals. Furthermore, the fact that human beings are often directed by their purposes has a fundamental bearing on how we understand the social and moral world. Taylor's classic work is essential reading for those in philosophy and psychology as well as related areas such as sociology and religion. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Preface by the author and a new Foreword by Alva No , setting the book in philosophical and historical context.

Religion ist nichts Eindeutiges. »Religion« ist ein Begriff, der gerne missbraucht wird und dessen Vielschichtigkeit zu ergründen lohnt. Charles Taylor arbeitet sich aus zwei Perspektiven heran: aus einer statischen (indem er den durch militante oder spirituelle Gruppen festgelegten Sinn des Begriffs betrachtet) und aus einer flexibleren (indem er die Verbindungen und Differenzen von Religion zu Magie, Spiritualismus und Säkularismus herausarbeitet). Sein Essay demonstriert, was große Philosophie auch in kleinster Form zu leisten vermag.

Charles Taylor zählt zu den großen Philosophen unserer Zeit. In eindringlichen Analysen hat er (wie in den hier exemplarisch für sein Werk stehenden drei Aufsätzen) die Ursprünge der modernen Identität rekonstruiert. Zugleich hat er damit eine innovative Neu-Erzählung des säkularen Zeitalters verfasst.Menschenrechte, Religion und Gewalt bilden die zentralen Angelpunkte seines Denkens. In immer neuen Anläufen zeigt er Wege auf, wie die vielfältigen Krisen der Gegenwart moralisch, politisch und gesellschaftlich besser gelöst werden könnten: Wer die Gegenwart verstehen will, kommt an den kritischen Analysen Taylors nicht vorbei.

“An urgent manifesto for the reconstruction of democratic belonging in our troubled times.” —Davide Panagia Across the world, democracies are suffering from a disconnect between the people and political elites. In communities where jobs and industry are scarce, many feel the government is incapable of understanding their needs or addressing their problems. The resulting frustration has fueled the success of destabilizing demagogues. To reverse this pattern and restore responsible government, we need to reinvigorate democracy at the local level. But what does that mean? Drawing on examples of successful community building in cities large and small, from a shrinking village in rural Austria to a neglected section of San Diego, Reconstructing Democracy makes a powerful case for re-engaging citizens. It highlights innovative grassroots projects and shows how local activists can form alliances and discover their own power to solve problems.
