Interpreting Modernity

There are few philosophical questions to which Charles Taylor has not devoted his attention. His work has made powerful contributions to our understanding of action, language, and mind, and he has had a lasting impact on our understanding of the way in which the social sciences should be practised, taking an interpretive stance in opposition to dominant positivist methodologies. This is a comprehensive appraisal of Taylor's philosophical writings by some of the most prominent contemporary philosophers and political theorists.
