In this major theoretical statement, the author offers a new and provoctive interpretation of institutional transformations associated with modernity. What is modernity? The author suggests, "As a first approximation, let us simply say the following: 'modernity' refers to modes of social life or organization which emerged in Europe from about the seventeenth century onwards and which subsequently became more or less worldwide in their influence." We do not as yet, the author argues, live in a post-modern world. The distinctive characteristics of our major social institutions in the closing years of the twentieth century suggest that, rather than entering into a period of post-modernity, we are moving into a period of "high modernity" in which the consequences of modernity are becoming more radicalized and universalized than before. A post-modern social universe may eventualy come into being, but this as yet lies on the other side of the forms of social and cultural organization that currently dominate world history. In developing a fresh characterization of the nature of modernity, the author concentrates on the themes of "security versus danger and o "trust versus risk. Modernity is a double-edged phenomenon. The development of modern social institutions has created vastly greater opportunities for human beings to enjoy a secure and rewarding existencethan in any type of pre-modern system. But modernity also has a somber side that has become very important in the present century, such as the frequently degrading nature of modern industrial work, the growth of totalitarianism, the threat of environmentsal destruction, and the alrming development of military power and weaponry. The book builds upon the author's pevious theoretical writings and will be of great interest to those who have followed his work through the years. However, this book covers issues the author has not previously analyzed and extends the scope of his work into areas of pressing practical concern.

远与近 《现代性的后果》124页,吉登斯引用梅罗韦兹的话:一个人正在与世界的另一边的一个人通电话,与同房间的一个人相比,他与远处的那个人的距离倒更近一些(同房间的这个人无非是问问:“谁来的电话?她说什么?”,等等)。 显然,在这里交流的信息量的多少,是衡量所谓...

没有任何经典的社会学的创始人对“战争的工业化”现象给予过系统性的关注。在“进步”中失去信仰是导致历史“宏大叙事性”终结的主要因素之一。 社会系统的“延伸”是通过应用于估算技术知识的测试的非人格性质以及用来控制其形式的公众批评来实现的,而这种公众批评正是技术性...
