This has not happened and today we no longer believe it ever will. In this book, now available in paperback, Bauman argues that our postmodern age is the time for reconciliation with ambivalence, we must learn how to live in an incurably ambiguous world.媒体推荐'Both parts [of the book] contain powerful critiques which contribute significantly to an area of debate which is rapidly coming to define the very promise of the sociological project.'Sociology'An argument rich in insight, imposing in its range and reference.'New Statesman and Society'A fascinating and highly original book which tells the story of modern men and women entrapped in ambivalence.'Agnes Heller, New School for Social Research'[A] remarkable and passionate text.'Sociology'Sensitive and intellectually highly stimulating work,Modernity and Ambivalencefuses the parochial and the universal, the historical and the theoretical, in a masterly fashion.'Muslim World Book Review
