    With the deepest appreciation and respect for Professor Charles Taylor. He is one of our great thinkers, most definitely.

    The tie is tucked in. That says a great deal and leaves many unanswered questions...

    Meandering and sweet in tone. Let him sink in and the insights pop up. A good counter yet supplement to Leo Strauss.

    It is a pity that I have come to know this great man so late in my life.
    I would think Professor/Philosopher thought can be basis of uniting democratic forces all countries..

    It's always the Prots that ruin everything

    What a Q&A session! Often the questions are way less interesting than the lecture, but not here

    It was tough for me to follow him. 30 mins in and I’m lost.

      ​@matthewmayuiers he doesn't really link to any philosopher. Common populism

    Didn't like this lecture. I'm sorry but it is pretty about nothing

    He completely fails to account for any of the empirical literature on secularization.

      so what is he missing then?

      He provides couter-examples - like India. Which he regards as falsifying the thesis - in the sense that it is meant to apply everywhere.

      What's the best empirical literature on secularization, in your view? Isn't the guy giving the intro, Casanova, a leading figure in this respect? Of course, taking account of the empirical literature is important, which is why I'm curious what your recomendations are. That said, Taylor is not doing empirical sociology here, it's a different sort of project, a kind of quasi-hegelian analysis of various self-conceptions and the subjective dilemmas to which they give rise. It would obviously be a problem if such analysis flew completely off the rails empirically, but it's not clear to me that's the case.

    Ortcutt, what are you talking about? He cites several works on secularism. Watch the whole speech. It's in, I think, three parts.

    • @ortcutt
      @ortcutt 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I watched all three. First, his description of sociological secularization theory is a caricature. Second, he doesn't present any evidence to dispute that theory. It just seems like more wishing away the evidence, which is what real sociologists like Steve Bruce are constantly encountering.
