Conclusion -- $t Backmatter 330 $aCharles Taylor (1931- ) is one of the leading living philosophers. This is the first extended study on the key notions of his views in philosophical anthropology and ethical theory. Firstly, Laitinen clarifies, qualifies and defends Taylor's thesis that transcendental arguments show that personal understandings concerning ethical and other values (so called "strong evaluation") is necessary, in different ways, for human agency, selfhood, identity and personhood. Secondly, Laitinen defends and develops in various ways Taylor's value realism. Finally, the book criticizes Taylor's view that it is necessary to identify and locate a constitutive source of value, such as God, Nature or Human Reason. Taylor relies heavily on this claim in his accounts of moral life, modern identity and, most recently, secularisation. Laitinen argues that the whole notion of constitutive moral source should be dropped - Taylor's views concerning strong evaluation and value realism are distorted by the question of constitutive "moral sources". 410 0$aQuellen und Studien zur Philosophie ;$vBd. 86. 517 3 $aCharles Taylor's philosophical anthropology and ethics 606 $aEthics$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPhilosophical anthropology$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aValues 615 0$aEthics$xHistory 615 0$aPhilosophical anthropology$xHistory 615 0$aValues. 676 $a128.4 700 $aLaitinen$b Arto$01636934 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813629703321 996 $aStrong evaluation without moral sources$93996283 997 $aUNINA
