Descrizione

The aim of this article consists in analyzing Charles Taylor’s interpretation of Bernard Williams’ moral philosophy. It focuses in particular on Taylor’s volume Sources of the Self: The Making of the Modern Identity (1989), but it also considers Taylor’s essay on Williams A most peculiar institution (1995) and Williams’ reply to it. The article underlines similarities (such as a common critique on morality intended as a system of obligations and its procedural matrix, or the common dislike for moral projectivism) as well as differences between the two philosophers. My argument is that Taylor’s thesis is more persuasive than Williams’ ‘sophisticated naturalism’.
