Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age
3rd November 2021: 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm GMT
An event every week that begins at 5:00 pm on Wednesday, repeating until 1st December 2021
Discussion group
We will look at selected passages from Part I of this penetrating study into the loss of religious certainty in the modern age. We will look at how Taylor asks and tries to answer many hard and fascinating questions: What does it mean for an age to be secular? What were the principal changes in how we live and think? How did the desire for more religious fervour end up bringing religious disbelief? How does life change when God is more or less absent?
The group will be led by Edward Hadas, Research Fellow at Blackfriars Hall and author of Counsels of Imperfection: Thinking through Catholic Social Teaching, and by James Bergida, Junior Research Fellow at Blackfriars Hall and an Adjunct Professor of Political Science and Economics at Christendom College
The group is online. No previous knowledge of anything is required or recommended.
Free and open for all.
