Readings from A Secular Age

Join me for a book club session on Wednesday, May 31 at 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET.

“One way to put the question that I want to answer here is this: why was it virtually impossible not to believe in God in, say, 1500 in our Western society, while in 2000 many of us find this not only easy, but even inescapable?” — Charles Taylor, A Secular Age

Dear readers,

I am excited to reconvene for a new book club offering: On Wednesday, May 31st I will be hosting a discussion on A Secular Age by Charles Taylor.

This is a massive tome not unlike Jean Gebser’s EPO or Ian McGilchrist’s The Matter with Things. There’s simply no way that we can give Taylor a proper reading here, but that’s not what this will be. The ongoing idea is to weave these larger texts in and out, like threads in the greater fabric of an emergent Mutations cultural discourse.
