HappyDays Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 I’m curious how objectivists would respond to the philosophy of Charles Taylor (PLEASE actually answer the question instead of “to the extent he agrees with objectivism, that’s the extent objectivists agree with him”, I don’t care what objectivists believe, I care why they believe what they do) so please actually respond to the parts of his philosophy which you disagree with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydstun Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Charles Taylor The only book of his I read was Sources of the Self, and I can't locate it just now. I'm sure it is still here, and if I come across it, I'll see if I wrote any criticisms in the margins. @HappyDays – you seem to think there are differences between the philosophies of CT and AR. How about you state some of those, with citations, and entreat folks here for address of specific differences? And stand and deliver what is your own address.

The differences are that A) Charles Taylor unlike ayn rand rejects individualist concepts of identity and subject formation that neglect communitarianism, B: rejects naturalism and is a Catholic who’s critical of secularism C) epistemically (based off of hermeneutics, hegelianism and what seems to be pragmatism) rejects formalist logic in favor of holistic, sociocultural based analysis Edited January 19 by HappyDays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
