Imaginarios sociales modernos
Charles Taylor
abstract
One of the most influential philosophers in the English-speaking world, Charles Taylor, has earned international acclaim for his contributions to political and moral theory, in particular to the debates on the formation of identity, multi-culturalism, secularism and modernity. In Modern Social Imaginaries, Taylor continues with his recent reflections on the issue of multiple modernities. To explain the differences between them, he puts forward the idea of social imaginary, in other words, of a broad understanding among a specific group on how they imagine their social life.
With the aim of plotting the development of a specific social imaginary, Taylor re-explains the history of western modernity. It is a social imaginary characterised by three key cultural forms, animated by the idea of a moral order based on the mutual benefit of equal participants: the economy, the public sphere and self-government. Accessible due both to its length and its style, Taylor's exposition on these cultural formations provides a clear and concise framework for an understanding of modern life in the West and of the different forms that modernity has adopted worldwide.
