Features: Modernity is not only a confusing concept for scholars but also for the general public, as it seems to require people to choose between oppressive traditions and empty, rootless self-identity. To seek a broader understanding of modernity, this book first examines Weber's perspective, then provides a detailed interpretation of the major works of Hegel and Heidegger, and finally attempts to have these two thinkers engage in dialogue. The author also presents their own views, arguing that it is possible to live a meaningful life that is free yet rooted in a shared context.
