Ethics and the Secular

Friends:

Last evening members of the Consortium Ethics Group met at Wesley to discuss Charles Taylor's monumental volume A Secular Age. John Corbett of the Pontifical Faculty gave a 15 minute reflection as a discussion starter. This led to an hour of reflection on this lengthy, profound, repetitive, informed and difficult volume. If offers a superb, and occasionally digressive, view of the roots of our contemporary dichotomy--immanence with or without transcendence--and a host of other questions.

Will this work be one that will be read in decades to come?
There is some sentiment that it will--perhaps in a more concise form.

Peace,
John
