This book provides a detailed reconstruction of the process of
formation of the modern concept of society as an objective entity
from the 1820s onwards, thus helping to better understand the
shaping of the modern world and the nature of the current crisis of
modernity. The concept has exerted considerable influence over the
last two centuries, during which time many people have conceived
themselves and behave as members of a society, and social
scientists have explained human subjectivities and conducts as
social effects. For both groups, society exists as a very real
phenomenon. Historical inquiry shows, however, that the modern
concept of society is no more than a historically contingent way of
imagining and making sense of the human world.
