A Hundred Years Of Modernity 1889-1989 - A Paradigm Story

This is a hundred-year analytical history of the Paradigm of the Modern. It is in part a treatise on sociological theory, telling the story of the demise of the modern as a dominant paradigm, a demise arising from its inner tensions. For that understanding a journey into the inner depths of the paradigm is called for. The narrative also contains autobiographical sketches portraying the life and thought at Berkeley in the 1960s.
