Ulrich Beck: Some Ideas for Tomorrow | ||
in Theory, Culture & Society , 33 (7-8) , 2016 | ||
Ulrich Beck was both a committed intellectual and one of the most original and innovative thinkers in our times, bringing new ideas and knowledge about the world in which we live. Among his more recent conceptual tributes, one finds such concepts as cosmopolitization of the world, the idea that social science has a lot to say about love in the second modernity, the importance of the city in a globalized world, and the notion of ‘emancipatory catastrophism’. | ||
