In his study Modernity and the Holocaust, Zygmunt Bauman contrasts
the hopes and expectations of the modernising world of the
nineteenth century with the real outcomes of the twentieth century,
where the very conditions of modernity have led to the mass
destruction of humanity and of those early hopes for the betterment
of humankind. This volume explores the possibilities left to those
once modernising societies, not only in terms of the worlds they
have constructed but also in discerning the novel conditions which
the closure of modernity entails. That closure, in part the
completion of industrialisation and the social order that went with
it, and in part the dislocation of the kinds of social knowledge
used to understand it, has raised profound and disturbing questions
about the character of this brave new world and the ways in which
its governance and the goal of the good society can be understood.
This volume explores some of the current vicissitudes of modernity,
especially in relation to the crises of the political, and the
political consequences of new technologies.
