Charles Taylor, Michael Polanyi and the Critique of Modernity [electronic resource] : Pluralist and Emergentist Directions /
Lowney II, Charles W.editor.
This book provides a timely, compelling, multidisciplinary critique of the largely tacit set of assumptions funding Modernity in the West. A partnership between Michael Polanyi and Charles Taylor's thought promises to cast the errors of the past in a new light, to graciously show how these errors can be amended, and to provide a specific cartography of how we can responsibly and meaningfully explore new possibilities for ethics, political society, and religion in a post-modern modernity.
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.
