Pierpaolo Donati

Transcending Modernity with Relational Thinking (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on and extending the relational thought of Simmel, this book argues that, constituting a reality of their own, social relations are profoundly changing modern society and will ultimately lead to a new form of society: an after-modern or relational society that challenges the guiding ideas of Western modernity.
