Ethics of Authenticity

Everywhere we hear of decline, of a world that was better before the influence of modernity. While some lament Western culture’s slide into relativism and nihilism and others celebrate the trend as a liberating sort of progress, Taylor calls on us to face the moral and political crises of our time, and to make the most of modernity’s challenges.

Peste tot auzim de declin, de o lume care era mai buna inainte de influenta modernitatii. In timp ce unii lamenteaza alunecarea culturii occidentale in relativism si nihilism, iar altii sarbatoresc tendinta ca un fel de progres eliberator, Taylor ne invita sa infruntam crizele morale si politice din timpul nostru si sa profitam la maximum de provocarile modernitatii.
