Riassunto

The main argument of this study is that "late" modernity is a post-traditional order characterized by a developed institutional reflexivity. Under influence of the globalizing tendencies of modern institutions, the self becomes a "reflexive project".

Recensione:

′In this book Anthony Giddens brings back in personality, the psyche, human nature itself. It is a pleasure and a real intellectual advance to have a social theorist of his stature revive the once central but long ignored study of personality and culture, character and society, especially a theorist with his very precise sense of what is truly modern in contemporary life.′ Professor Dennis Wrong, New York University

L'autore:

Anthony Giddens is Director of the London School of Economics and Political Science, and also Professor of Sociology at the University of Cambridge.
