{"product_id":"how-not-to-be-secular-reading-charles-taylor","title":"How (Not) to Be Secular: Reading Charles Taylor","description":"How (Not) to Be Secular is what Jamie Smith calls \"your hitchhiker's guide to the present\" -- it is both a reading guide to Charles Taylor's monumental work A Secular Age and philosophical guidance on how we might learn to live in our times.\n\nTaylor's landmark book A Secular Age (2007) provides a monumental, incisive analysis of what it means to live in the post-Christian present -- a pluralist world of competing beliefs and growing unbelief. Jamie Smith's book is a compact field guide to Taylor's insightful study of the secular, making that very significant but daunting work accessible to a wide array of readers.\n\nEven more, though, Smith's How (Not) to Be Secular is a practical philosophical guidebook, a kind of how-to manual on how to live in our secular age. It ultimately offers us an adventure in self-understanding and maps out a way to get our bearings in today's secular culture, no matter who \"we\" are -- whether believers or skeptics, devout or doubting, self-assured or puzzled and confused. This is a book for any thinking person to chew on.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0802867618\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0802867618.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Smith, James K.
