Almost everyone would agree that we - in the West, at least - largely do. And clearly the place of religion in our societies has changed profoundly in the last few centuries. Charles Taylor takes up the question of what these changes mean - of what, precisely, happens when a society in which it is virtually impossible not to believe in God becomes one in which faith, even for the staunchest believer, is only one human possibility among others." "Taylor offers a historical perspective. He examines the development in "Western Christendom" of those aspects of modernity which we call secular. What he describes is in fact not a single, continuous transformation, but a series of new departures, in which earlier forms of religious life have been dissolved or destabilized and new ones have been created." "What this means for the world - including the new forms of collective religious life it encourages, with their tendency to a mass mobilization that breeds violence - is what Charles Taylor grapples with, in a book as timely as it is timeless."--Jacket UR - http://www.dawsonera.com/depp/reader/protected/external/AbstractView/9780674044289 UR - http://www.dawsonera.com/depp/reader/protected/external/AbstractView/S9780674044289 UR - http://site.ebrary.com/id/10312773 UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=282402 UR - http://0-search.ebscohost.com.librarycatalog.vts.edu/login.aspx?profile=ebooks&direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=282402 UR - http://catalog.hathitrust.org/api/volumes/oclc/85766076.html UR - https://public.ebookcentral.proquest.com/choice/publicfullrecord.aspx?p=3300068 UR - http://vts.libguides.com/ebooks-faq UR - http://whel-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/openurl/44WHELF_ABW/44WHELF_ABW_VU1?u.ignore_date_coverage=true&rft.mms_id=9912049223702418 UR - http://libproxy.bath.ac.uk/login?url=http://www.dawsonera.com/depp/reader/protected/external/AbstractView/S9780674044289 UR - https://openurl.ac.uk/ukfed:bat?u.ignore_date_coverage=true&rft.mms_id=991003625959302761 UR - https://www.dawsonera.com/guard/protected/dawson.jsp?name=https://idp.shu.ac.uk/shibboleth&dest=http://www.dawsonera.com/abstract/9780674044289 UR - https://shu-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/openurl/44SHU/44SHU_VU1?u.ignore_date_coverage=true&rft.mms_id=9938276002501 UR - https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctvxrpz54 UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0712/2007008005.html ER -
