Modernity and Self-Identity by Anthony Giddens
This study develops a new account of modernity and its relation to the self. Building upon the ideas set out in "The Consequences of Modernity", Giddens argues that "high" or "late" modernity is a post-traditional order characterized by a developed institutional reflexivity.
'This book supplies the missing psychological link in Anthony Giddens' ever more substantial body of work on the sociology of modernity.. rich and measured ... His dialectical approach, moreover, affords many insights into the interconnection between the invasive and disorienting effects of commercial and technical imperatives.' New Statesman and Society
Former director of the London School of Economics and Political Science, Anthony Giddens He has since been elected to the House of Lords. The Third Way and Europe in the Global Age are two of his many books.
