What is the character of secularism in countries that were not pervaded by Christianity, such as China, India, and the nations of the Middle East? A vital extension of Charles Taylor's A Secular Age, which chronicled the emergence of secularism in Latin Christendom, this anthology applies Taylor's findings to secularism's global migration. Contributors explore the transformation of Western secularism beyond Europe, and the collection closes with Taylor's response to each essay.
Nine major scholars of philosophy, religion, law, ethics, history, anthropology, and politics consider the fate of Western secularism in modern global societies. Extending Charles Taylor's A Secular Age, this anthology explores the transformation of Western secularism beyond Europe, and the collection closes with Taylor's response to each essay.
