La modernité tardive en crise

Together, the two authors offer a critical and comprehensive perspective on the mechanisms underlying the crisis of late modernity. They argue for the use of social theory to redefine cultural and social goals in order to build a more sustainable and balanced society. The book underlines the importance of theoretical reflection in formulating appropriate responses to contemporary challenges, and in guiding the necessary changes towards a more stable and fulfilling society.
