Abstract

Charles Taylor has created a vast body of work over 50 years of writing, exploring Western conceptions of human being. Reclaiming our sense of ourselves as porous subjects permeated by the world around us as well as disengaging and reflecting on our lives, Smith believes, will let us make sense or ourselves and reinterpret the human condition.
