内容説明
A textbook derived from the Open University course "Understanding Modern Societies", this work considers the forces which are reshaping modern industrial societies, together with new patterns, structures and relationships which are emerging in a "post-industrial" and increasingly "globalized" world. The key debates and their main protagonists are introduced and critically discussed. The book reassesses the promise and project of Enlightenment social science. In doing so, it examines the character of "modernity" and the relationship between "early modern" and "postmodern" societies, assessing whether the paradigms, models and theories used to explain and analyze "modern societies" are adequate for post-industrial societies.

内容説明
Modernity and its Futures is a major introductory textbook which examines the forces reshaping modern industrial societies and the new patterns, structures and relationships that are emerging in the contemporary world. The key debates about these changes are introduced and critically discussed; they include the transformation of Eastern Europe, the collapse of the USSR, globalisation, environmental challenges, post industrialism, cultural change and post-modernism. The book also looks back to the formation of modern societies, and of social science, to explore the character of 'modernity' and the relationship between 'early-modern' and 'post-modern' societies, and assess whether the paradigms and theories used to analyse 'modern' societies are adequate for social formations today. Designed as an introduction to modern societies and modern sociological analyses, this book is of value to students on a wide variety of social science courses in universities and colleges, and also for readers with no prior knowledge of sociology. Selected readings from major social theorists are integrated into each chapter, together with student questions and exercises.
