New publication: "Society Theory" by Hartmut Rosa and Jörg Oberthür

Modern societies are characterised by permanent change and conflict-laden dynamics. Social processes with diverse intended and unintended consequences cause a high degree of complexity of social phenomena. Against this background, the question of the possibility of a 'conceptual bracket' to describe and process them is more urgent than ever. A new book by Hartmut Rosa, director of the Max Weber College of the University of Erfurt, and Jörg Oberthür (University of Jena) aims to update the answer to the question of the changing nature of society in three ways.
