Charles Taylor and the Post-Secular Imagination

<p>In an age marked by moral fragmentation and the decline of shared meaning <strong>Charles Taylor</strong> remains one of the few philosophers who still believes that the modern world can be redeemed through understanding. His monumental works <em>Sources of the Self</em> and <em>A Secular Age</em> offered not only a genealogy of modern identity but also a vision of how humanity might rediscover depth within freedom and transcendence within immanence.</p><p>In this bold and elegant study <strong>Kamaruzzaman Bustamam Ahmad</strong> reinterprets Taylor's philosophy as a living response to the spiritual challenges of modernity. <em>Charles Taylor and the Post-Secular Imagination</em> explores how moral sources continue to shape human experience even after the death of God and how the modern self may evolve beyond secular disenchantment toward a renewed moral horizon.</p><p>Through rigorous analysis and lyrical clarity the book traces Taylor's journey from Augustine and Descartes to the crisis of authenticity and the rediscovery of fullness in <em>A Secular Age.</em> It examines the rise of the immanent frame the fragility of belief and the re-emergence of transcendence as a condition of moral and cultural renewal. At its core lies a radical question: <em>Can meaning survive in a world that no longer believes in absolutes?</em></p><p>Profoundly philosophical yet accessible to general readers this work invites scholars students and seekers alike to enter Taylor's moral universe-where philosophy becomes a form of care and imagination a mode of faith. It is both a tribute to Taylor's enduring influence and a call to reawaken the moral imagination in the twenty-first century.</p>
