Theories of Modernity and Postmodernity Zusammenfassung

Theories of Modernity and Postmodernity Bryan S Turner

This book encapsulates the recent debate on the concepts of modernity and postmodernity. Arguments over modernism and its aftermath are traced to their origins in art, architecture and literature. The authors then focus on the contribution of sociology to this cultural dispute through the theories of Weber, Simmel, Habermas, Lyotard and Baudrillard.

Throughout, Theories of Modernity and Postmodernity demonstrates the connections between traditional problems of sociological theory and the contemporary debate around modernity.

Theories of Modernity and Postmodernity Bewertungen

`Worried by the apolitical turn that I saw inherent in postmodernism's (potential) relativism, I was heartened by this reading... as my guide to travels in hyperspace, I carried Turner's book... a timely contribution to the burgeoning debate about modernity and postmodernity... the collection is a valuable attempt to shed light on debates that too often are written in an exclusive language. It brings together and draws out many of the central arguments in an expanding and disparate debate - the editor is to be congratulated for achieving this aim' - The Sociological Review

`This is an exciting and provocative series of essays on the topics of modernity and postmodernity... the essays are of high quality and contain fresh thinking on topics of intense contemporary interest. Anyone wishing to become familiar with key issues in social theory today should read these essays' - Douglas Kellner
