Part I. Meta-Narrative -- Chapter 1. The Contemporary Landscape of Theories of Secularization -- Chapter 2. Charles Taylors Account of Secularization )I( -- Chapter 3. Charles Taylors Account of Secularization )II( -- Part II. Sources -- Chapter 4. Philosophical and Classic Sociological Sources -- Chapter 5. Contemporary Sociological Sources -- Part III. Taylorean Social Theory -- Chapter 6. Interpreting a Social Theory -- Chapter 7. Taylorean Social Theory and the Orthodox and Counter-Orthodox Models -- Chapter 8. Conclusion. This book examines Taylorean social theory, its sources, main characteristics and impact. Charles Taylors meta-narrative of secularization in the West, prominently contained in his major work A Secular Age )2007(, has brought new insight on the social and cultural factors that intervened in such process, the role of human agency, and particularly on the contemporary conditions of belief in North America and Europe. This study discusses what Taylors approach has brought to the scholarly debate on Western secularization, which has been carried on mostly in sociological terms. McKenzie interprets Taylors views in a way that offers an original social theory. Such interpretation is possible with the help of sociologist Margaret Archers morphogenetic theory and by making the most of Taylors particular understanding of the method of the social sciences and of his philosophical views on human beings, knowledge and modernity. After exploring the philosophical and sociological sources informing Taylorean social theory and proposing its basic concepts and hermeneutic guidelines, the author compares it with two widespread theories of secularization: the now waning orthodox account and that proposed by Rational Choice Theory scholars, particularly prevalent in the United States. In doing so, the book shows in which ways Taylorean social theory supersedes them, what new issues it brings into the scholarly discussion, and what difficulties might limit its future development.
