Table of ContentsReviewsI am grateful to Michiel Meijer for his interesting and challenging description of the inner relations - and tensions - in my account of human agency. There is certainly a lot more to be worked out in this area. His discussion should help further define the issues involved, which are central to our understanding of what it is to be human. -- Charles Taylor, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, McGill University Michiel Meijer does a great job of bringing out how distinctive, and yet how valuable, Charles Taylor's contribution to contemporary debates in ethics is. Centering on Taylor's important, multi-layered concept of strong evaluation, Meijer ranges across decades of Taylor's writings to masterfully explicate the complications and nuances of Taylor's thought while also engaging constructively with the large secondary literature about it. -- Dr. Ruth Abbey, Professor of Political Theory at the University of Notre Dame Michiel Meijer's book is an impressive addition to the scholarship on Taylor. By focusing on the key concept of strong evaluation, and then analysing how this concept features in Taylor's writings in philosophical anthropology, ethics and ontology, Meijer brings a new and interesting perspective to bear on Taylor's philosophical work as a whole. -- Nicholas Smith, Professor of Philosophy, Macquarie University Author InformationMichiel Meijer is Doctor of Philosophy and Postdoctoral Research Fellow of the Research Foundation Flanders at the University of Antwerp.
