Charles Taylor (born 1931) is a prominent Canadian philosopher and Professor Emeritus at McGill University, renowned worldwide for his research in political philosophy, moral philosophy, and the philosophy of social sciences. He is considered a leading figure in the communitarian movement, and his structural critiques of atomistic liberalism and his reinterpretation of the concepts of identity and modernity have had a profound influence on contemporary thought. His major works, including *Sources of the Self* and *A Secular Age*, are among the most important texts in political and social philosophy of recent decades.
