[Craic] MAR 20: Charles Taylor panel on "Fragile Democracy: Technocratic Takeover and Popular Renewal"

Sat Mar 13 07:53:26 PST 2021

I believe that this is a very timely event dealing with one of the most 
important  issues of our time.  This could be a focal point for a 
renewed consensus and focus for our community.  Like Laudato Si it 
identifies the evil of a Technocratic takeover.  It is at the same time 
as or a half hour after our next saturday zoom meeting.   I was 
wondering if we could discuss this topic following the event in a zoom 
meeting next Saturday.

We are experiencing a crisis of democracy more powerful than anything 
seen in a generation: inequality continues at a galloping pace; policing 
is increasingly racialized and militarized; political decision-making 
appears remote and divorced from the lives of ordinary people.
This panel discussion—including renowned philosopher Charles 
Taylor--will consider sources and solutions to the present crisis of 
democracy by drawing on two recent books:Reconstructing Democracyby 
Charles Taylor, Patrizia Nanz, and Madeleine Beaubien Taylor andWe Built 
Realityby Jason Blakely.
Both works identify within our political and cultural crisis the loss of 
democratic participation and the rise of top-down technocratic, 
managerial rule.

Charles Tayloris Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at McGill University. 
Although his work has covered a great breadth of subjects, he is perhaps 
best known for his contributions to political and moral theory. Among 
his many authored books are A Secular Age (2007), Sources of the Self: 
the Making of the Modern Identity (1989), and The Ethics of 
Authenticity(1991). He has received a litany of awards and recognitions 
for his body of work, including the Ratzinger Prize (2019), the 
Berggruen Prize (2016), the Kluge Prize (2015), the Kyoto Prize (2008), 
and the Templeton Prize (2007).

Patrizia Nanzis Vice President of the German Federal Office for the 
Safety of Nuclear Waste Management, professor at the Faculty of 
Economics and Social Sciences at the University of Potsdam and Director 
of the German-French Forum for the Future. From 2016 until 2021, she was 
Scientific Director at the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies 
in Potsdam, Germany. Previously, she was professor for political theory 
at the University of Bremen. In her work, she is exploring the future of 
democracy, especially the challenges connected to open government, 
public administration and citizen participation.

Thought. His expertise is in political philosophy and hermeneutics. He

Culture, Politics, and Power(Oxford, 2020) andAlasdair MacIntyre, 
Charles Taylor, and the Demise of Naturalism(Notre Dame, 2016). He also 
co-authoredInterpretive Social Science(Oxford, 2018) with Mark Bevir. 
Blakely's work has also appeared in top scholarly journals as well as 
popular venues like theAtlanticandCommonweal.

for Social Research in New York City. He will join the sociology faculty
