More than 300 people filled Eckhardt-Grammate Hall at the University of Winnipeg on Wednesday, Oct. 19 to hear a lecture by renowned Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor.

Titled “Solidarity and Diversity in a Secular Age: Managing Belief and Unbelief in the Public Square,” the lecture was based on Taylor’s 2007 magnum opus, A Secular Age. The 79-year-old currently teaches at McGill University and is working on a new book.

The lecture was presented by the Knowles-Woodsworth Centre for Theology and Public Policy, the U of W Politics Department and The Uniter’s Mouseland Press Speaker Series.

The next Mouseland Press Speaker Series event happens Thursday, Nov. 24 and features University of Toronto philosophy professor Joseph Heath, co-author of the book The Rebel Sell: Why the Culture Can’t Be Jammed. Visit www.uniter.ca/speaker-series.
