Charles Taylor’s Vision of Modernity
Charles Taylor is currently one the most renowned and influential contemporary philosophers. He is also widely quoted and discussed both in the social sciences and humanities. Taylor earns this attention through his remarkable capacity for presenting his conceptions in the broadest possible intellectual and cultural context. His philosophical intuition is fundamentally antinaturalistic, and tends toward developing broad syntheses without a trace of systematizing thinking, or any anarchic postmodernist methodology. His thought unites the past with the present, while culture is treated as a broad mosaic of discourses. Religion, art, science, philosophy, politics and ethics are all fields throu...
Working with A Secular Age
Charles Taylor’s monumental book A Secular Age has been extensively discussed, criticized, and worked on. This volume, by contrast, explores ways of working with Taylor’s book, especially its potentials and limits for individual research projects. Due to its wide reception, it has initiated a truly interdisciplinary object of study; with essays drawn from various research fields, this volume fosters substantial conversation across disciplines.

Religious Life in Poland
This book provides a concise historical outline of religion in Poland up until its entry into the European Union in 2004, together with a longer presentation of contemporary religious issues. Albeit largely mono-ethnic and overwhelmingly Catholic after the loss of its large Jewish population to the Holocaust, and subsequent post-World War II border shifts, traces of an historic diversity remain in Poland to date, playing a greater role than mere numbers would suggest. Poland's fairly robust religious life is affected by the country's continuing modernization and its various institutions, and this is discussed within a broad context. One of the unfortunate legacies of decades of communism is a stunted civil society; while at different levels there are conflicts involving religion, at the grassroots it is one of the few forces building much needed trust in present-day Polish society.

W cieniu posthistorii. Wprowadzenie do filozofii Viléma Flussera
Czeski filozof języka i komunikacji, myśliciel żydowski, niemiecki teoretyk mediów, brazylijski eseista, krytyk i kurator sztuki – wszystkie te etykiety mogą opisywać tożsamość Viléma Flussera (1920–1991). Jednak nawet zebrane razem nie wyczerpują wymaganych w jego przypadku znaczeń. Flusser uważał się bowiem za nomadę i swoją filozofię uprawiał w nomadycznym stylu, znoszącym zasadność wszelkich granic narodowych, instytucjonalnych, metodologicznych czy dyscyplinarnych. Pozwoliło mu to na stworzenie niezwykłej, wielowątkowej opowieści o współczesności i jej mieszkańcach – dziwnych funkcjonariuszach aparatów i techno-imaginatorach. Choć ta opowieść był...
