Conversations with Ulrich Beck by Ulrich Beck

* Ulrich Beck, one of the most important and influential contemporary social thinkers, reveals and expands his work in a series of conversations with journalist Johannes Willms.
"Every now and then a new way of thinking about the social world occursAnd once that happens it is difficult to imagine how sociology had managed without that new way of thinking. ….Ulrich Beck’s concept of risk society …was a kind of revelation. It provided for sociology a way of speaking of the physical world and of its risks that brought in a striking array of new topics. In effect it enabled people to speak of things, indeed in a way to “see” things, that they had been trying to speak of and to see, but the where the concepts had been chronically lacking." John Urry, Professor of Sociology, Lancaster University
Ulrich Beck is Professor of Sociology at the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich.

Johannes Willms is a journalist and writer.
