Overview

In addition to the Enlightenment sense of modernity, there is also another modernity, which brings with it an alternative rationality. Drawing together themes first broached a decade ago, this volume represents Scott Lash's definitive statement in social and cultural theory. It will be of interest to those studying sociology, philosophy, modern languages, and urban and cultural studies.
