220073 Theories of Modernity (S) (SoSe 2013)

Contents, comment

Since the late eighteenth century, there has been a widespread conviction amongst commentators on human affairs that we have gone through a significant turning point in historical development and are now living in ‘modernity’. The sense that life in the present is quite different from the lives of previous generations gave new impetus to the study of economy, society and human nature, and generated a wide range of different theories, each of which claimed to explain the essential nature of the modern world. This course will consider different theories of modernity, their relation to more general ideas of time and history, and their implications for understanding the present.
