Jamie Smith's book is a compact field guide to Taylor's insightful study of the secular, making that very significant but daunting work accessible to a wide array of readers.Even more, though, Smith's How (Not) to Be Secular is a practical philosophical guidebook, a kind of how-to manual on how to live in our secular age. It ultimately offers us an adventure in self-understanding and maps out a way to get our bearings in today's secular culture, no matter who \"we\" are -- whether believers or skeptics, devout or doubting, self-assured or puzzled and confused. This is a book for any thinking person to chew on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52106434052384,"sku":"NEW0802867618","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/B1gfgdrewdS.jpg?v=1785830035","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/how-not-to-be-secular-reading-charles-taylor-0802867618","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
