This book examines modernity through the prism of the two
sovereigns - of the individual and collectivity. The book attempts
to provide a stimulating meditation on the difficult and
contradictory experiences of European modernity. It uses the
collapse of communism in Eastern and central Europe to explore why
the institutions and narratives of modernity found it so difficult
to deal with problems like the meaning of freedom, the role and
status of intellectuals and the legacy of the past. The author
argues that the central question of modernity is how the world can
be made a better place and that this question remains relevant and
that it has never been definitively answered. This book should be
of interest to undergraduates and postgraduates in the fields of
sociology, political science and philosophy.
