In Modern Social Imaginaries, Taylor continues his recent reflections on the theme of multiple modernities. To account for the differences among modernities, Taylor sets out his idea of the social imaginary, a broad understanding of the way a given people imagine their collective social life. Retelling the history of Western modernity, Taylor traces the development of a distinct social imaginary.

Important book; poor choice of reader
Revisado: 01-01-25
This is an essential book in contemporary thought, and I was very pleased to see there was an Audible version so I could “reread” it while exercising. However the choice of reader was very disappointing - as others have noted, he has a monotone voice that seems like an automaton. To make matters worse, he mispronounces almost every word that is not English. This book has a not incidental amount of French phrases (it discusses French thinking and the Revolution) - no one expects perfect accents from an Anglophone reader but nearly every phrase is butchered. Too bad, as a stronger performance would help make Taylor’s crucial book more accessible and adapt it better to the audio platform. As for me, I’ve gone back to my print copy.
