Abstract

This article is mainly aimed to explain the central ideas of the work of Charles Taylor Self sources. The article can be divided into three steps. At first, I will develop a brief introduction contemplating an explanation of what I call the question horizon proposed by the author. In a second step, I will discuss the theory held by Taylor, an ethic of authenticity, it should not seized together with its proposal for a reconnaissance policy. In a third step, we will hold a brief conclusion of the concepts addressed throughout the article. Both conceptual explorations developed by Taylor develop far beyond just a purely descriptive effort of modern identity. On the contrary, the work is defined as a practice of the "rescue" of renegade sources of modern morality, with the clear intention to criticize and rework our self-understanding as moral agents so that we can work actively in solving dilemmas moral and political contemporary world.
