Secularism, Identity, And Enchantment by Akeel Bilgrami
Problems of Modernity from Charles Taylor to Talal Asad
This thought-provoking work delves into the intricate relationship between secularism, identity, and the concept of enchantment in modern society. It explores how secularism, often perceived as a neutral framework, can influence and shape individual and collective identities, sometimes leading to disenchantment with the world. The book argues for a nuanced understanding of secularism that acknowledges its limitations and potential for fostering a sense of wonder and meaning in life. Through a blend of philosophical inquiry and cultural analysis, it challenges readers to reconsider the role of secularism in shaping contemporary human experiences and identities.
