Steven B. Smith examines the concept of modernity, not as the end
product of historical developments but as a state of mind. He
explores modernism as a source of both pride and anxiety,
suggesting that its most distinctive characteristics are the
self-criticisms and doubts that accompany social and political
progress. Providing profiles of the modern project's most powerful
defenders and critics-from Machiavelli and Spinoza to Saul Bellow
and Isaiah Berlin-this provocative work of philosophy and political
science offers a novel perspective on what it means to be modern
and why discontent and sometimes radical rejection are its
inevitable by-products.
