Description
"Harvie Ferguson proposes a new view of modernity, arguing that, although it may variously be associated with the Renaissance, the European discovery of the New World, the Reformation, the Industrial Revolution, and many other significant ruptures with primitive or premodern society, modernity fails as an idea if it only defines itself against what it replaced. Instead, he writes, modernity finds its clearest definition through an exploration of subjectivity."--BOOK JACKET.
First Sentence
Few concepts have so come to dominate the human sciences, in all the variety of their historical, literary, and cultural offspring, as has that of Modernity.
