This volume examines the reasons for intensified social change
after 1980; a peaceful process of a magnitude that is historically
unprecedented. It examines the kinds of novelty that have come
about through morphogenesis and the elements of stability that
remain because of morphostasis. It is argued that this pattern
cannot be explained simply by ‘acceleration’. Instead, we must
specify the generative mechanism(s) involved that underlie and
unify ordinary people’s experiences of different disjunctions in
their lives. The book discusses the umbrella concept of ‘social
morphogenesis’ and the possibility of transition to a
‘Morphogenic Society’. It examines possible ‘generative
mechanisms’ accounting for the effects of ‘social
morphogenesis’ in transforming previous and much more stable
practices. Finally, it seeks to answer the question of what is
required in order to justify the claim that Morphogenic society can
supersede modernity.
