This book critically engages with a series of provocative questions
that ask: Why are contemporary societies so dependent on
constructive and destructive effects of individualization? Is this
phenomenon only related to the 'second' or 'late' modernity? Can
the concept of individualization be productively used for
developing a sociological diagnosis of our time? The innovative
answers suggested in this book are focused on two types of
challenges accompanying the rise of individualization. First, that
it is caused by controversial changes in social structures and
action patterns. Second, that the effects of individualization
question varieties of the common good. Both challenges have a long
history but reached critical intensity in advanced contemporary
societies in the context of current globalization.
