The Malaise of Modernity by Charles Taylor (Author)
In Malaise of Modernity, Charles Taylor focuses on the key modern concept of self-fulfillment, often attacked as the central support of what Christopher Lasch has called the culture of narcissism. To Taylor, self-fulfillment, although often expressed in self-centered ways, isn’t necessarily a rejection of traditional values and social commitment; it also reflects something authentic and valuable in modern culture. Only by distinguishing what is good in this modern striving from what is socially and politically dangerous, Taylor says, can our age be made to deliver its promise.
I need to write this book review and relate it to the rise of modernity in a political standpoint.
Please mention the work of at least two of these theorist and their major arguments about modernity:
Locke
Burke
Marx
Weber
De Beauvoir
It needs to be a critical book review. Please refer attached file for extra details.
