82415 - ST:Charles Taylor:Secular Age (2020/SP:HUMN-493-02)

In this interdisciplinary course, we will read portions of philosopher Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age, tracing his narrative of the movement from a perceived “enchanted” world to a modern “secular” society. Alongside this, we will read fiction and nonfiction, listen to music, and look at contemporary art and film in order to trace the connections between their post-secular content and Taylor’s philosophical categories.
