<p>Charles Taylors monumental book<em>A Secular Age</em>has been extensively discussed, criticized, and worked on. This volume, by contrast, explores ways of working with Taylors book, especially its potentials and limits for individual research projects. Due to its wide reception, it has initiated a truly interdisciplinary object of study; with essays drawn from various research fields, this volume fosters substantial conversation across disciplines.</p>

The series Religion and Its Others: Studies in Religion, Nonreligion and Secularity (RIO) considers the multiple relations between religion, nonreligion and secularity. Monographs, edited volumes and readers in this series are concerned with the forming and reforming of religious traditions in relation to their cultural and political contexts, their boundaries and what is beyond those boundaries. The series explores apparently nonreligious or &apos;irreligious&apos; phenomena that are significantly related to religion (including forms of atheism, agnosticism, indifference) and modes of differentiation between religion and its various others, often institutionalized in cultural, legal and political orders. Affiliated with the interdisciplinary Nonreligion and Secularity Research Network (http://nsrn.net), the series publishes research from across disciplines, including religious studies; anthropology, sociology and psychology of religions; history and philosophy of religions; political, cultural and area studies; media and communication studies; and studies of visual and performing arts.
