Together with Anthoy Giddens' Beyond Left and Right, Ulrich Beck's new book launches the series Second Modernity, of which he is editor. Beck is concerned in this study with questions which preoccupy the children of an individualized and globalized society: how can the desire for self-determination be reconciled with the equally important desire for mutuality? How can one both be individualistic and integrate oneself within the group? Which political orientations emerge and which domains are to be reconfigured in this new society of Second Mondernity?
»Globalization«, »prospects for the future development of democracy« and the »erosion of work society« are the main themes which supersede the assumptions of First Modernity.
