Berger's Facing Up to Modernity: Excursions in Society, Politics, and Religion stands as a penetrating intellectual reckoning with the forces that have reshaped human existence in the contemporary world. Berger, one of the twentieth century's foremost sociologists of knowledge, presents a wide-ranging collection of essays that interrogates the profound dislocations wrought by modern secular society — examining how individuals, institutions, and belief systems struggle to find coherent meaning amid the turbulent currents of pluralism, capitalism, and secularization.\n\nSpanning the intersecting domains of sociology, theology, and political thought, this work illustrates Berger's signature ability to synthesize rigorous academic analysis with an accessible, almost conversational clarity. His arguments challenge both conservative and progressive orthodoxies, insisting that an honest confrontation with modernity demands intellectual courage rather than ideological comfort. For readers who dare to question the assumptions underpinning contemporary life, Facing Up to Modernity remains as urgent and unsettling as the era it chronicles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203119751387,"sku":"2026200014538-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/57c602d7-8d7f-4b54-a3d7-aa4639959e4b.png?v=1788144504","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014538-secondhand-facing-up-to-modernity-excursions-in-society-politics-and-religion","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
