Over at The Immanent Frame, there’s an interesting conversation about the new book Varieties of Secularism in a Secular Age, out this spring, which addresses, elucidates, and expands upon themes from Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age. (The conversation is a continuation of discussion that began at The Immanent Frame 2008 and took A Secular Age as its point of departure.)
Jason Bivins sums up the project well when he writes in his piece, entitled “Circling the Line”: “His generous, tough-minded interlocutors have pushed Taylor, and readers, to think not only about omissions in his narrative but beyond it, to consider how religious and non-religious identities are generated and articulated inside secular formations.”
Other recent posts include Justin Neuman on “Ubunto, reconciliation, and the buffered self”; Jimmy Casas Klausen on “Politics of misrecognition”; Sarah Allen on “Casting away our crutches”; Vincent Lloyd on “What Taylor Misses”; and John Schmalzbauer on “Higher times in the Bible Belt.”
