Charles Taylor is 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).

Paul Thibaud was editor of Esprit from 1977 to 1989.
