Abstract

Despite the extensive commentary and discussion that has followed the publication of Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age, Bertrand Malscha and Henri Guénin-Paracini (2013) provide an opportunity to re-focus on three accounting issues that have received little attention so far. These are: (1) the normative thrust of secularism on accounting; (2) the relationship of our instrumental social imaginary and political accounting; and (3) the place accorded to religious difference in our understanding of interpretivist accounting thought in Western liberal societies.
