This book provides an overview and analysis of the thought of
figures across the human and social sciences on the character,
causes, and consequences of discontent in modern societies.
Exploring the important social and cultural conditions associated
with modernity, it focuses on the contributions of 38 prominent
scholars from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries -
philosophers, historians, and social scientists - on the subject of
discontent and social malaise, and individual and collective
well-being. Thematically organized, this volume offers brief
portraits of the lives and key ideas of these thinkers, leading
toward a presentation of modernity as a "differentiated complaint."
Reclaiming an important tradition in the human and social sciences
that sees life on a grand scale, that integrates personal affairs
with social and cultural matters, and that dares people to recommit
themselves to this broader vision of human involvement, Anatomies
of Modern Discontent will appeal to readers across the social
sciences and humanities, particularly those with interests in
social theory, sociology, and philosophy.
