如何理解现代性?在现代与后现代的争执中,吉登斯的分析首先是建立在一副晚期现代图景之下:一方面,吉登斯对现代性的理解视域受限:“late modern”means mainly north atlantic,white,industrial,and not of the late“communist”bloc.另一方面,正是在欧美工业文明这样一个...
评分It is really hard to finish this book espcially when I am very anxious about looking for the future direction of my phd thesis. So I just roughly read the 1,2 and last chapter, but I have to say that Giddens is a great writer, he did so many researches cove...
评分一共就读过吉登斯两本书,一本《现代性的后果》,一本这个《现代性与自我认同》,每次都不是很愉悦的阅读体验,前者好像还好,不过现在也悲催地忘记书里在讲什么了,无比郁闷当时没有做笔记。这本呢,分析周密,整体逻辑架构清晰,吉登斯也实在底蕴深厚地信手拈来各家论...
评分是本好书,就是看不懂而已。。。。要不是写社会学作业,打死我估计也翻不出十张纸的。。。总的说来,这是一本很玄的书,太佩服安东尼吉登斯了,境界之高让我仰视!
评分I didn't finish the last two chapters in time for some one requested the book so I had to return it to the library. However the first five chapters give me very strong impression of word reflexivity. Since that Anthony Giddens believed modernity's importan...

Modernity differs from all preceding forms of social order because of its dynamism, its deep undercutting of traditional habits and customs, and its global impact. It also radicallly alters the general nature of daily life and the most personal aspects of human activity. In fact, one of the most distinctive features of modernity is the increasing interconnection between globalizing influences and personal dispositions. The author analyzes the nature of this interconnection and provides a conceptual vocabulary for it, in the process providing a major rethinking of the nature of modernity and a reworking of basic premises of sociological analysis. Building on the ideas set out in the authors The Consequences of Modernity, this book focuses on the self and the emergence of new mechanisms of self-identity that are shaped by--yet also shape--the institutions of modernity. The author argues that the self is not a passive entity, determined by external influences. Rather, in forging their self-identities, no matter how local their contexts of action, individuals contribute to and directly promote social influences that are global in their consequences and implications. The author sketches the contours of the he calls "high modernity"--the world of our day--and considers its ramifications for the self and self-identity. In this context, he analyzes the meaning to the self of such concepts as trust, fate, risk, and security and goes on the examine the "sequestration of experience," the process by which high modernity separates day-to-day social life from a variety of experiences and broad issues of morality. The author demonstrates how personal meaninglessness--the feeling that life has nothing worthwhile to offer--becomes a fundamental psychic problem in circumstances of high modernity. The book concludes with a discussion of "life politics," a politics of selfactualization operating on both the individual and collective levels.
