Multiple Modernities

Informationen zum Autor Gunnar Skirbekk is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Philosophy and the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and Humanities, University of Bergen. Klappentext Approaches the concept of modernity through two historical phases of Norway. The first study focuses on the interplay between Lutheran state officials and popular movements in the nineteenth century as an essential aspect of the growth of social democracy; the second centres on twentieth-century Norway after World War II. The book is balanced between theoretical remarks on conceptual issues, an assessment of modernisation processes, and a study of basic epistemic and structural challenges that confront us in our time.
