Abstract

The philosophical account of Charles Taylor aims to overcome the mediationalist and gnoseological tradition and lay the foundations, following Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger and Wittgenstein, in a new knowledge that is directed towards a more primordial level that allows contact with the embodied structure of the man. It is a story that aims to «sculpt» a new epistemological approach that overcomes dualism and everything that distances man from dogmatism and estrangement both from himself and from his commitment to the world. Taylor claims a robust realism about cultural richness and multiplicity that allows the overcoming of relativism and the understanding of horizons that allow reciprocal understanding.
