Recenzii
`Modernity has to be understood in terms of problems, not solutions. In reflections ranging from epistemology to political theory, Peter Wagner develops an understanding of modernity in terms of inescapable problems for which only transitory solutions can be found - and opposes this convincing conception to the declarations of a new epoch of postmodernity or reflexive modernity. Balanced and innovative, this book is a must for all readers interested in social theory and the diagnosis of our time' - Professor Hans Joas, Free University Berlin

These are the questions of the certainty of our knowledge, the viability of our politics, the continuity of our selves, the accessibility of the past, and the transparency of the future. The book demonstrates how these questions are addressed in different forms and by different intellectua
