A fines del siglo XVIII Kant planteó el interrogante "¿cómo es posible el conocimiento?". Doscientos años más tarde nos preguntamos "¿cómo es posible la creación (política)?". Según la teoría de la "modernización reflexiva", una etapa de la modernidad desaparece y una segunda surge, todavía sin nombre, como efecto secundario de la sociedad industrial. La modernización reflexiva inaugura, para toda una época, la posibilidad de una (auto)destrucción creativa. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Those who advocate ideas about "postmodernity" and "post-industrialism" offer radical critiques of existing social and political institutions. But they provide very little in place of those institutions. It is all very well to criticize the limitations of social democracy, the welfare state, trade unionism, and social classes as agents of change, but once these have been thrown into crisis what other institutions do we have to depend on? The Reinvention of Politics, suggests we should think again about forging a new model of politics for our times. An active, devolved civil society, Beck argues, can sustain the claim that modernity is inherently democratic. For many issues now - for example, those involving technology, environment protest, the family, or gender relations - belong to the domain of what the author calls "subpolitics". The postmodern critique of modernity, in Beck's view, is based on mistaken generalizations about a transitional phase in the evolution of modern society. What is needed, he argues, is the reinvention of politics, corresponding to th new demands of a society which remains modern, but which has progressed beyond the earlier form of industrial society. This book will be essential reading for second-year undergraduates and above in the fields of social and political theory, sociology and political science.
