[MD] Charles Taylor

[ian glendinning]

Hi DM,

Another one of those intellectuals that went from Oxford to devout
Catholicism, - I'll add him to my list - guess he wasn't old enough to
be an "Inkling" ?

The interview is more interesting than the book review .... the latter
(or maybe the book being reviewed) seems to focus on "attacking" an
extreme "caricature" of naturalism, rather than naturalism itself, so
it's a style I find hard to accept ?

I like his description of analytic philosophy as "dried-out" as long
ago as the 50's. Which piece(s) do you characterises as "problems with
our enlightenment inheritance" ? The fact he couldn't (doesn't)
understand Voltaire ?

But interesting.
Regards
Ian
