Description

The Formations of Modernity: Understanding Modern Societies an Introduction This introductory textbook offers a comprehensive account of the historical processes, institutions, and ideas that have shaped modern societies. It explores how these distinctive forms of life emerged in early modern Europe and evolved over time. The book examines the roots of modern knowledge and the birth of the social sciences during the Enlightenment, as well as the impact of encounters with other civilizations on the emerging identity of 'the West'. A range of selected readings from classical writers and contemporary thinkers are integrated into each chapter, along with student questions and exercises.
