is what Jamie Smith calls "your hitchhiker's guide to the present" it is both a reading guide to Charles Taylor's monumental work
and philosophical guidance on how we might learn to live in our times.
Taylor's landmark book
(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, making that very significant but daunting work accessible to a wide array of readers.
Even more, though, Smith's
is a practical philosophical guidebook, a kind of how-to manual on how to live in our secular age. It ultimately offers us an adventure in self-understanding and maps out a way to get our bearings in today's secular culture, no matter who "we" are whether believers or skeptics, devout or doubting, self-assured or puzzled and confused. This is a book for any thinking person to chew on.
