書籍簡介

在這個對現代自我身份來源的廣泛調查中，查爾斯·泰勒證明了這些資源是多麼豐富和寶貴。現代人對主觀性的轉向，以及隨之而來的對客觀理性秩序的拒絕，在許多人看來，最温和的是導致了單純的主觀主義，最糟糕的是導致了純粹的虛無主義。許多批評家認為，現代秩序沒有道德支柱，並被證明對所有可能促進人類福祉的東西具有腐蝕性。泰勒反對這種觀點。他認為，如果理解得當，我們的現代自我概念提供了一個框架，足以彌補對實質性理性概念的放棄。

《自我的根源》的主要見解是，現代的主體性，在其所有的認識論、審美和政治影響中，其根源在於人類善的觀念。在首先論證了當代哲學家忽視了自我和善的聯繫之後，作者通過描述其起源來定義現代身份。他為發掘和描繪我們的道德來源所做的努力導致了對現代傳統中大多數人物和運動的新的解釋。泰勒表明，現代人向內轉並不是災難性的，實際上是我們長期努力定義和達到善的結果。在這一定義的核心，他發現了他所謂的對普通生活的肯定，這一價值即使沒有完全取代舊的理性概念，也決定性地取代了與基於出生和財富的等級制度的聯繫。泰勒講述了一場革命的故事，這場革命的支持者包括奧古斯丁、蒙田、路德和其他許多人，他的目標之一是確保我們不會忽視他們的目標，不會危及已經取得的一切。《自我的根源》為現代秩序提供了一個決定性的辯護，並對其批評者進行了尖鋭的反駁。

In this extensive inquiry into the sources of modern selfhood, Charles Taylor demonstrates just how rich and precious those resources are. The modern turn to subjectivity, with its attendant rejection of an objective order of reason, has led-it seems to many-to mere subjectivism at the mildest and to sheer nihilism at the worst. Many critics believe that the modern order has no moral backbone and has proved corrosive to all that might foster human good. Taylor rejects this view. He argues that, properly understood, our modern notion of the self provides a framework that more than compensates for the abandonment of substantive notions of rationality.

The major insight of Sources of the Self is that modern subjectivity, in all its epistemological, aesthetic, and political ramifications, has its roots in ideas of human good. After first arguing that contemporary philosophers have ignored how self and good connect, the author defines the modern identity by describing its genesis. His effort to uncover and map our moral sources leads to novel interpretations of most of the figures and movements in the modern tradition. Taylor shows that the modern turn inward is not disastrous but is in fact the result of our long efforts to define and reach the good. At the heart of this definition he finds what he calls the affirmation of ordinary life, a value which has decisively if not completely replaced an older conception of reason as connected to a hierarchy based on birth and wealth. In telling the story of a revolution whose proponents have been Augustine, Montaigne, Luther, and a host of others, Taylor's goal is in part to make sure we do not lose sight of their goal and endanger all that has been achieved. Sources of the Self provides a decisive defense of the modern order and a sharp rebuff to its critics.
