Modernity is a troubling concept, not only for scholars but for the
general public, for it seems to represent a choice between
oppressive traditions and empty, rootless freedom. Seeking a
broader understanding of modernity, Kolb first considers the views
of Weber and then discusses in detail the pivotal writings of Hegel
and Heidegger. He uses the novel strategy of presenting Heidegger's
critique of Hegel and then suggesting the critique of Heidegger
that Hegel might have made.
Kolb offers his own views, proposing the possibility of a
meaningful life that is free but still rooted in shared contexts.
He concludes with comments on postmodernity as discussed by Lyotard
and others, arguing persuasively against the presupposition of a
unified Modern or Postmodern Age.
