What does /lit/ think of Canada's greatest philosopher?

Is that book any good? It's a fucking brick and I don't want to read it just to get more soft-dick Rorty bullshit about how we can deck out and soup up decrepit neoliberalism with philosophy.

I really like it. What Taylor does is name things that are so obvious, but have never really been called out before, like how modern religious think of God differently than their ancestors, and like how our world has become "disenchanted". And whereas in the past belief in God was certain, today the modern religious is only plagued with doubt. Taylor argues talks about why that it is.

I'm learning a lot about myself from it. It's hard to grasp sometimes, and he's repetitive, but it's worth it if you're interested in modern religion.
