Rooted in the robust discourse of eminent Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor (A Secular Age), this book takes the reader on a journey of deep reflection and discovery. Many things in today’s culture misdirect, seduce, and confuse younger generations, when they actually need wise mentors with integrity. The discussion clarifies some of the core issues at stake in the late modern identity quest. In the process, it unpacks some of the most profound implications of the miraculous incarnation for personal flourishing. The author introduces us to the power of dialogue with both divine and human interlocutors. We are brought around the table for mutual engagement, while receiving a compelling vi...
Çağdaş ahlâk felsefesinin temel problemleri hangi mefhumlar üzerinden açığa çıkmaktadır? Liberal düşünce tasavvurlarına karşı Alasdair MacIntyre ve Charles Taylor nasıl bir ahlâk felsefesi ortaya koyarlar? Ahlâk, epistemolojik bir mesele midir yoksa ahlâkın ontolojik dayanakları mı söz konusudur? İyinin mahiyeti üzerine düşünen tefekkür geleneği çağdaş zamanlar içerisinde yeniden canlandırılabilir mi? Aristotelesçi ahlâk nazariyesi bugün için nasıl bir alternatif teşkil etmektedir? Bütün bu soruların cevaplarının titizlikle izini süren bu çalışma, liberal yaşam koşulları içerisinde bile hâlâ “iyi nedir?” sorusunun peşinde olanla...

This short introduction to hermeneutics demonstrates the central role of interpretation in our daily lives. By considering the historic developments in hermeneutic theory as well as its contemporary relevance, Zimmermann explains how humans continue to draw knowledge from the world around them.
The place of religion in society has changed profoundly in the last few centuries, particularly in the West. In what will be a defining book for our time, Taylor takes up the question of what these changes mean, and what, precisely, happens when a society becomes one in which faith is only one human possibility among others.

Raised in a militant atheist family, Sy Garte fell in love with the factual world of science. He became a respected research biochemist with an anti-theistic worldview to bolster his work—and he had no intention of seeking a God he didn't believe in. That is, until the very science he loved led him to question the validity of an atheistic worldview. His journey to answer the questions that confronted him drew him into becoming a fully committed Christian, determined to show others the truth: modern science doesn't contradict God at all but instead supports Christianity. In the first half of the book, Sy begins with how his experiences and quest for knowledge as a student and early in his c...
