Too Sick to Write So, Charles Taylor on Master Narratives of Modernism


I've become more and more interested in the bases that are the foundations of how we habitually think of things while not even being aware that those bases are there, like the air we use to talk.  I'm interested in how the results that are shaped, not by objective observation but observation through the sieves and filters provided by those bases, are universally to be regarded as some kind of pure observation of objective reality when they are not.  So, the fine and eminent Canadian philosopher, Charles Taylor, one of the more astute critics of modernism is someone I'm spending a lot of time with these days.
