Abstract
This chapter explores what Taylor has been working on since publishing <italic>A Secular Age</italic>. This includes his work on religious freedom, his contribution to a report for the Government of Quebec on diversity and multiculturalism in the province, and his study on language and its place and role in the political and social debates that are shaping our world. The chapter examines Taylor’s arguments about religious freedom and its importance for harmonious social conditions in modern societies that are struggling to negotiate the boundaries between the religious and the secular realms, particularly at a time when both religious and secular viewpoints remain important to many citizens in modern democracies. The chapter then provides an overview of Taylor’s work on a report for the Government of Quebec that was commissioned at a time of intense scrutiny in the province about the status of the French language, the maintaining of French cultural traditions, and issues to do with jobs and incomes as the region faces high levels of immigration and increased diversity. Taylor’s book <italic>The</italic> <italic>Language Animal</italic> is also examined, and his views about how we understand language as being expressive or functional is assessed.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
