Charles Taylor (philosopher)

Charles Taylor is a Canadian philosopher known for exploring how human identity and moral values are shaped by history, culture, and society. He emphasizes that our sense of self is not fixed but develops through interactions within the social world, influenced by language, religion, and community. Taylor also investigates issues like secularism and modernity, debating how contemporary societies manage the coexistence of diverse beliefs and values. His work helps us understand how personal and collective identities are formed and how culture influences our sense of meaning and moral commitments.
