The basis of the theory of secularism is that as modernity progresses (a set of phenomena including science, technology, and rational forms of authority), the influence of religion gradually diminishes, but Charles Taylor argues that the modern world not only hasn’t destroyed religion, but also in many cases, has led to its growth and development. The book The Secular Age is a detail of his views on secularism. Taylor talks about situations in the past where belief in God was pervasive, but things developed in such a way that belief in God became an option among other options. He describes the process of spreading secularism in the new West and what has happened to religion. In this process, for the religious, "God" and for the non-religious, "reason" describes perfection. This article, with a brief look at Taylor's work, examines the movement of the West (Western Europe and North America) from religious societies to secular societies, and after analyzing Taylor's theory of secularism, critiques and summarizes his ideas.

The Ernest Cassirer Symbolist Philosophy was one of the most important systematic philosophical thoughts of the twentieth century, which did not spread as many times as it deserved and was not introduced in principle. One of these reasons was the lack of author’s conclusive work on his philosophy. But at the end of his life, he wrote a book for English speakers, which is an entry into this thinking. The book, An Essay on Man, was translated from French translation to Persian. This book was important because of an independent chapter on art which the philosopher did not have time to review. The present article intends to correct the mistakes by reviewing the Persian text with the English text of the chapter and provide a small field for understanding this valuable and succinct chapter. So, there is no intention of criticizing the translator and only to facilitate the understanding of the topic for the Persian speaker.
