To be in contact with the world. An evening for and with Charles Taylor

Thursday, 5 May 2022, 18:30 CET SPITTELAUER LÄNDE 3, IWM Library, VIENNA, 1090 Charles Taylor, one of the outstanding philosophers of our age, turned 90 on November 5, 2021. Taylor has been closely associated with the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) for more than three decades. His life and work have always been inseparably bound up with one another. He is a scholar, a committed citizen, and a public intellectual. Many researchers owe him an immense debt of gratitude for his intellectual inspiration to their work and, most importantly, for his generous friendliness and charming esprit. Rajeev Bhargava and Hartmut Rosa, two of Taylor’s intellectual companions for a long time, honored his work and personality.
