This book presents Ulrich Beck, one of the world’s leading sociologists and social thinkers, as a Pioneer in Cosmopolitan Sociology and Risk Society. His world risk society theory has been confirmed by recent disasters – events that have shaken modern society to the core, signaling the end of an era in which comprehensive insurance could keep us safe. Due to its own successes, modern society now faces failure: while in the past experiments wer...

Costruire la propria vita" è quasi un imperativo categorico nelle società moderne che esaltano l'individuo. In tutti i paesi occidentali i singoli agiscono, lottano, si sforzano per fare della propria esistenza un'unica e singolare avventura, riposta nelle proprie mani, condizionata solo dalle proprie decisioni. Un'aspirazione che coincide con l'affrancamento dal passato, dalle società immobili, dalla tradizione, ma che presuppone un futuro am...

Der verbreiteten Rede von der "Politikverdrossenheit" oder dem "Ende der Politik" setzt dieser Band die These entgegen, daß sich das Verständnis und der Ort von Politik verändert haben. Die Grundlagen des gesellschaftlichen Handelns und Zusammenlebens sind in Bewegung geraten. ("reflexive Modernisierung"), die Gesellschaft hat sich energischer von Regeln befreit, als die Politik wahrhaben wollte: Eine Gesellschaft erfindet sich ihre Politik. D...

In seinem Gedicht «An die Nachgeborenen» schreibt Bertolt Brecht: Was sind das fiir Zeiten, wo Ein Gesprach uber Baume fast ein Verbrechen ist Weil es ein Schweigen uber so viele Untaten einschliegt! An diesen Zeilen leuchtet exemplarisch ein Problem auf, das auch rur jedes Nachdenken uber Gesellschaft, das wissenschaftliche eingeschlossen, ty­ pisch ist. Und dieses Problem ist das zentrale Thema dieses Buches. Ganz allgemein (vielleicht zugle...

Individualization argues that we are in the midst of a fundamental change in the nature of society and politics. This change hinges around two processes: globalization and individualization. The book demonstrates that individualization is a structural characteristic of highly differentiated societies, and does not imperil social cohesion, but actually makes it possible. Ulrich Beck and Elisabeth Beck-Gernsheim argue that it is vital to disting...

Viviamo un'epoca di incertezza: le persone devono pensare da sé al futuro, preoccuparsi delle proprie chances sul mercato del lavoro, della formazione dei propri figli e della sicurezza della propria vecchiaia. E sempre più spesso i cittadini si mobilitano contro tutto ciò che incarna le loro paure e, chiedendo protezione alle istituzioni, chiedono anche di fatto limitazioni alla libertà. Un paradosso? Laddove la sicurezza sociale viene meno, ...

Het is een vreemde paradox: onze moderne westerse maatschappij is veiliger dan ooit en toch zijn we banger dan ooit. Voor de opslag van CO² in de grond, islamitisch fundamentalisme, de klimaatverandering, de financiële crises enzovoort. Risico's zijn onaanvaardbaar geworden, en daarom eisen we van de overheid dat zij alles wat in de toekomst mis zou kunnen gaan, nu al voorkomt. Zijn we doorgeslagen in ons verlangen naar veiligheid? Ulrich Bec...

Tutti lo sanno, ma dichiararlo esplicitamente significa infrangere un tabù: l'Europa è diventata tedesca. Nessuno ha voluto che ciò accadesse, ma di fronte al possibile crollo dell'euro la Germania in quanto potenza economica è "scivolata" progressivamente nella posizione di decisiva grande potenza politica dell'Europa. A costi altissimi: dappertutto nel continente si alza la resistenza contro una politica per superare la crisi che mette in mo...
