La era secular by Charles Taylor Pdf

En los últimos siglos Occidente ha ensanchado el abanico de las opciones de la creencia, ya sean religiosas, ateas u otras difíciles de clasificar. Un proceso paulatino de declive de la fe y retirada de la religión de la vida pública. Este retroceso supone un cambio impactante si pensamos en el papel que hasta hace poco jugaban las iglesias cristianas en el mundo Occidental. ¿Por qué ha sucedido todo esto? ¿Cuáles son los rasgos del nuevo paisaje espiritual? La era secular es el ensayo escrito más ambicioso y sobresaliente sobre el complejo proceso de secularización en Occidente que aún sigue en marcha. El filósofo Charles Taylor desgrana, en este segundo volumen, el cambio de las condiciones de la fe que desde la Ilustración socavaron las viejas formas y sentaron las bases de una nueva alternativa humanista. Sin embargo, este debilitamiento de las representaciones anteriores no ha sido incompatible con la persistencia de cierto anhelo de religiosidad, lo cual se traduce en nuestros días, en el florecimiento de múltiples alternativas —a veces contradictorias— y en un novedoso pluralismo en cuestión de espiritualidad.

La era secular. Tomo I by Charles Taylor,Lluís Duch Pdf

¿Qué significa afirmar que vivimos en una era secular? Casi todos coincidiríamos en que en cierto sentido es así, al menos en Occidente. Y es claro que el lugar de la religión en nuestras sociedades ha cambiado profundamente en los últimos siglos. En lo que será un libro definitorio para nuestra época, Charles Taylor aborda la cuestión de lo que significan estos cambios, más concretamente, de lo que ocurre cuando una sociedad en la que es virtualmente imposible no creer en Dios se convierte en una sociedad en la que la fe, aun para el creyente más acérrimo, es apenas una posibilidad humana entre otras. Taylor, desde hace mucho tiempo uno de nuestros pensadores más agudos, ofrece una perspectiva histórica. Examina el desarrollo, en la "cristiandad occidental", de aquellos aspectos de la modernidad que llamamos seculares. En realidad, no describe una transformación única y continua, sino una serie de nuevos comienzos, que implican la disolución o desestabilización de las formas anteriores de vida religiosa y la creación de otras nuevas. Como veremos aquí, lo que caracteriza al mundo secular de hoy no es la ausencia de religión -aunque en algunas sociedades la creencia y la práctica religiosas han disminuido notablemente-, sino más bien la continua multiplicación de nuevas opciones, religiosas, espirituales y antirreligiosas, a las que los individuos y los grupos se aferran para dar sentido a sus vidas y para dar forma a sus aspiraciones espirituales. Lo que esto significa para el mundo -incluyendo las nuevas formas de vida religiosa colectiva que favorece, con su tendencia a una movilización masiva generadora de violencia- es lo que Charles Taylor desentraña en este libro tan oportuno para nuestro tiempo como intemporal.

A Secular Age by Charles Taylor Pdf

The place of religion in society has changed profoundly in the last few centuries, particularly in the West. In what will be a defining book for our time, Taylor takes up the question of what these changes mean, and what, precisely, happens when a society becomes one in which faith is only one human possibility among others.

Beyond Secular Faith by Mátyás Szalay Pdf

Attempts to reach an understanding of how to live a Christian life in the contemporary context have never been more necessary. This is the aim of the International Symposium: Beyond Secular Faith, an annual conference held in Granada, Spain. This volume represents the fruits of over seven years of scholarship. The title Beyond Secular Faith suggests we are interested in (re)discovering and reflectively elaborating ways to overcome the limits imposed by the dominant contemporary culture. We are convinced that only a faith liberated from the conceptual restrictions and reductions (put forward by secular philosophy and theology) and centered radically on Christ can flourish in the dimension that is proper to faith; that is, in all spheres of human life. Featuring contributions from internationally recognized philosophers and theologians such as Tracey Rowland, Jarosław Jagiello, Rocco Buttiglione, Alison Milbank, Massimo Borghesi, John Milbank, and others, we will explore a diversity of questions from this common perspective: the light of revelation illuminates how Christians should live in the modern world, leading to a new beginning.

Mi vida con los santos by James Martin Pdf

Para el padre James Martin, SJ los Santos ¡son mucho más que estatuas de yeso, son amigos personales! En Mi vida con los Santos James Martin nos presenta una conmovedora experiencia respect a su relación con los Santos –desde María, la madre de Jesús, hasta San Francisco o la Madre Teresa− y la manera personal en la que ha side dirigido por los heroes de la Iglesia a lo largo de toda su vida. El padre James nos presenta vívidos y encantadores relatos de los Santos más populares, permitiéndonos ver no solo su santidad, sino su humanidad. A partir de esta experiencia descubrimos la llamada y posibilidad de vivir la santidad en nuestra propia humanidad. James Martin has led an entirely modern life: from a lukewarm Catholic childhood, to an education at the Wharton School of Business, to the executive fast track at General Electric, to ministry as a Jesuit priest, to a busy media career in Manhattan. But at every step he has been accompanied by some surprising friends—the saints of the Catholic Church. For many, these holy men and women remain just historical figures. For Martin, they are intimate companions. “They pray for me, offer me comfort, give me examples of discipleship, and help me along the way,” he writes. The author is both engaging and specific about the help and companionship he has received. When his pride proves trouble­some, he seeks help from Thomas Merton, the monk and writer who struggled with egotism. In sickness he turns to Thérèse of Lisieux, who knew about the boredom and self-pity that come with illness. Joan of Arc shores up his flagging courage. Aloysius Gonzaga deepens his compassion. Pope John XXIII helps him to laugh and not take life too seriously. Martin’s inspiring, witty, and always fascinating memoir encompasses saints from the whole of Christian history— from St. Peter to Dorothy Day. His saintly friends include Francis of Assisi, Ignatius of Loyola, Mother Teresa, and other beloved figures. They accompany the author on a lifelong pilgrimage that includes stops in a sunlit square of a French town, a quiet retreat house on a New England beach, the gritty housing projects of inner-city Chicago, the sprawling slums of Nairobi, and a gorgeous Baroque church in Rome. This rich, vibrant, stirring narrative shows how the saints can help all of us find our way in the world.

Diálogos. Taylor Charles y Bernstein Richard con Daniel Gamper by Charles Taylor,Richard Bernstein,Daniel Gamper Pdf

Frente a un mundo en el que imperan los mensajes cortos, la inmediatez y la necesidad de crear sensaciones, la filosofía reivindica meditar sin prisas y pone en tela de juicio los lugares comunes. Como actividad libre, su objetivo no es la persecución del poder, sino la verdad entendida como la línea de meta que nunca se cruza pero que ha de guiar nuestro debate y reflexión. Este atractivo diálogo trata sobre la actualidad de la filosofía y sobre el modo en que las preguntas permanecen a pesar de que cada época las da por canceladas. La filosofía orientada al ámbito de lo público y lo común, nos recuerdan Charles Taylor y Richard Bernstein, nos ofrece un contrapunto en el sistema democrático (ayudándonos así a evitar cierres en falso) y una herramienta para aproximarnos a un horizonte de justicia. Este horizonte como promesa debe articularse en un contexto de diversidad ideológica, étnica, cultural y religiosa, donde el pluralismo de los valores elimine los peajes culturales para acceder a la ciudadanía y no recluya las identidades en compartimentos estancos, sino que promueva la reciprocidad, el reconocimiento y la vitalidad social.

How (Not) to Be Secular by James K. A. Smith Pdf

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. Taylor'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. Even 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.

A Secular Age by Charles Taylor Pdf

Taylor takes up the question of what happens when a society in which it is virtually impossible not to believe in God becomes one in which faith, even for the staunchest believer, is only one human possibility among others.

Secular Bodies, Affects and Emotions by Monique Scheer,Nadia Fadil,Birgitte Schepelern Johansen Pdf

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com Taking its cue from the study of 'lived religion', Secular Bodies, Affects and Emotions shows how the idea of a secular public is equally marked by a display and cultivation of affect and emotions. Whereas it is widely agreed that religion is often saturated by emotion, the secular is usually treated as a neutral background serving as the domain of public, rational deliberation. This book demonstrates that secularity and secularism are also upheld by bodily practices and emotional attachments. Drawing on empirical case studies, this is the first book to ask and explore whether a secular body exists. Building on the work of Talal Asad, the book argues that the secular is not an absence of religion, but a positive entity that comes about through its co-constitutive relationship with religion. And, once we attune ourselves to recognizing its operations as grammar which structures social practice, writing an anthropology of the secular could become a new possibility.

Varieties of Secularism in a Secular Age by Michael Warner,Jonathan VanAntwerpen,Craig J. Calhoun Pdf

“What does it mean to say that we live in a secular age?” This apparently simple question opens into the massive, provocative, and complex A Secular Age, where Charles Taylor positions secularism as a defining feature of the modern world, not the mere absence of religion, and casts light on the experience of transcendence that scientistic explanations of the world tend to neglect. In Varieties of Secularism in a Secular Age, a prominent and varied group of scholars chart the conversations in which A Secular Age intervenes and address wider questions of secularism and secularity. The distinguished contributors include Robert Bellah, José Casanova, Nilüfer Göle, William E. Connolly, Wendy Brown, Simon During, Colin Jager, Jon Butler, Jonathan Sheehan, Akeel Bilgrami, John Milbank, and Saba Mahmood. Varieties of Secularism in a Secular Age succeeds in conveying to readers the complexity of secularism while serving as an invaluable guide to a landmark book.

Asia and the Secular by Pascal Bourdeaux,Eddy Dufourmont,André Laliberté,Rémy Madinier Pdf

This volume looks at the secular state in the context of contemporary Asia and investigates whether there existed before modernity antecedents to the condition of secularity, understood as the differentiation of the sphere of the religious from other spheres of social life. The chapters presented in this book examine this issue in national contexts by looking at the historical formation of lexicons that defined the "secular", the "secular state," and "secularism". This approach requires paying attention to modern vernacular languages and their precedents in written traditions with often a very long tradition. This book presents three interpretive frameworks: multiple modernities, variety of secularisms, and typologies of post-colonial secular states.

Sacred and Secular in Medieval and Early Modern Cultures by L. Besserman Pdf

This book illuminates the pervasive interplay of 'sacred' and 'secular' phenomena in the literature, history, politics, and religion of the Middle Ages and Early Modern periods. The essays gathered here constitute a new way of applying a classic dichotomy to major cultural phenomena of the pre-modern era.
