University of Winnipeg’s Dr. Carlos D. Colorado, associate professor of religion and culture (Faculty of Arts) and Dr. Justin D. Klassen, assistant professor of theology at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky, have edited a new book titled ASPIRING TO FULLNESS IN A SECULAR AGE: Essays On Religion And Theology In The Work Of Charles Taylor.
This volume, whose title is inspired by Charles Taylor’s magisterial A Secular Age, offers a host of expert analyses of the religious and theological threads running throughout Taylor’s oeuvre, illuminating further his approaches to morality, politics, history, and philosophy.
Although the scope of Taylor’s insight into modern secularity has been widely recognized by his fellow social theorists and philosophers, Aspiring to Fullness focuses on Taylor’s insights regarding questions of religious experience. It is with a view to such experience that the volume’s contributors consider and assess Taylor’s broad analysis of the limits and potentialities of the present age in regard to human fullness or fulfillment.
“There has been a great deal written about Charles Taylor as philosopher, but surprisingly little on theology and religion in Taylor’s work, as if his status as a Catholic thinker were purely accidental. This book admirably addresses that need, exploring the ways that Taylor breaks through the confinement of the immanent frame.
ASPIRING TO FULLNESS IN A SECULAR AGE: Essays On Religion And Theology In The Work Of Charles Taylor
The authors of this volume investigate the subtle interactions in Taylor’s thought between authenticity and pluralism, humanism and apocalypticism, suffering and kenosis, and much more. The diversity and acuity of the authors gathered here ensure a lively argument that will interest anyone concerned with questions of religion and secularity.” —William T. Cavanaugh, DePaul University
