Anxiety, Modern Society, and the Critical Method interrogates the
historical intersections of political economy, technology, and
anxiety. By analyzing and building upon the tools developed by
critical theorists to diagnose the symptoms of modern life-such as
alienation, anomie, the Protestant ethic, and repression-Joel
Michael Crombez convincingly argues for a revitalization of
critical social science to better confront the anxiety of life in
modern societies. While anxiety typically falls under the purview
of psychology and its biomedical approach to treatment, here
anxiety is situated within the totalizing logics of modern society.
As such, Crombez provides a compelling, interdisciplinary roadmap
to diagnose and treat anxiety-which he calls critical
socioanalysis-that accounts for the psychosocial complexity of its
production.
