À propos de cet audio
What does it mean to say that we live in a secular age? Almost everyone would agree that we - in the West, at least - largely do. And clearly the place of religion in our societies has changed profoundly in the last few centuries. In what will be a defining book for our time, Charles Taylor takes up the question of what these changes mean - of what, precisely, 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.
Taylor, long one of our most insightful thinkers on such questions, offers a historical perspective. He examines the development in "Western Christendom" of those aspects of modernity which we call secular. What he describes is in fact not a single, continuous transformation, but a series of new departures, in which earlier forms of religious life have been dissolved or destabilized and new ones have been created.
As we see here, today's secular world is characterized not by an absence of religion - although in some societies religious belief and practice have markedly declined - but rather by the continuing multiplication of new options, religious, spiritual, and anti-religious, which individuals and groups seize on in order to make sense of their lives and give shape to their spiritual aspirations.
What this means for the world - including the new forms of collective religious life it encourages, with their tendency to a mass mobilization that breeds violence - is what Charles Taylor grapples with, in a book as timely as it is timeless.

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.

Crucifixion, the Romans believed, was the worst fate imaginable, a punishment reserved for slaves. How astonishing it was, then, that people should have come to believe that one particular victim of crucifixion - an obscure provincial by the name of Jesus - was to be worshipped as a god. Dominion explores the implications of this shocking conviction as they have reverberated throughout history.

Considered by Joseph Ratzinger devotees as his greatest work on the liturgy, this profound and beautifully written treatment of the "great prayer of the Church" will help listeners to deepen their understanding of the rites of the Church. The cardinal discusses fundamental misunderstandings of the Second Vatican Council's intentions for liturgical renewal, especially about the priest's orientation of prayer to the Father, the placement of the tabernacle in churches, and the posture of kneeling.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 47
Hans Castorp is, on the face of it, an ordinary man in his early 20s, on course to start a career in ship engineering in his home town of Hamburg, when he decides to travel to the Berghof Santatorium in Davos. The year is 1912 and an oblivious world is on the brink of war. Castorp’s friend Joachim Ziemssen is taking the cure and a three-week visit seems a perfect break before work begins. But when Castorp arrives he is surprised to find an established community of patients, and little by little, he gets drawn into the closeted life and the individual personalities of the residents.

An enlightening analysis
This book touched on so many tensions I've never put words to when it comes to belief and unbelief. I'm no academic, so I will probably get a physical copy (there's a lot of dense vocabulary that is better absorbed by reading it in my opinion).
The reader was good, except I must note that his french pronunciation was not usually good. There is more quoting in french than I expected, and I couldn't follow his pronunciation, which was disappointing cause I love french.
Anyways, other than that, a very deep book, worth it!

The best historical account on secularization
Charles Taylor will explain the history of secularization in detail that has never been given before. His original take traces it back to the reformation and the gradual transformation of the phenomenonal world which moved from a "porous self" to the modern "buffer self" that even most religious folks identify with.
Dr.Taylor maybe a practicing catholic but his critique of the moderns takes honest digs a the faithful and atheists alike.
I love this book but my goodness there is a lot of recursion and you may feel like you have listened to some parts of the book already. However by the time you are finished you will find yourself holding a very nuanced view on the faithful, the immenent and the cross-pressured worldviews.

Unbearable pronunciation of foreign languages
I like this narrator, except when he attempts to read French/ German. It’s incomprehensible and so, so painful to listen to. Other than that, this audio is good

A book with foreign languages
Hey guys
I speak French German and English but the reader only excels in English which makes the reading of other languages impossible to understand

Canonical book, even reading
The book is essential for understanding the transformation of social and political thought since the middle ages. The reading is highly listenable.
