Ernest Gellner and Contemporary Social Thought(ISBN=9780521709415) 2025 chm pdf kindle rb azw3 下载 115盘

　　Ernest Gellner was a unique scholar whose work covered areas

as diverse as social anthropology, analytical philosophy, the

sociology of the Islamic world, nationalism, psychoanalysis, East

European transformations and kinship structures. Despite this

diversity, there is an exceptional degree of unity and coherence in

Gellner's work with his distinctly modernist, rationalist and

liberal world-view evident in everything he wrote. His central

problematic remains constant: understanding how the modern world

came into being and to what extent it is unique relative to all

other social forms. Ten years after his death, this book brings

together leading social theorists to evaluate the significance of

Gellner's legacy and to re-examine his central concerns. It

corrects many misunderstandings and critically engages with

Gellner's legacy to provide a cutting edge contribution to

understanding our contemporary post-9/11, global, late modern,

social condition.

Ernest Gellner was a unique scholar whose work covered areas as diverse as social anthropology, analytical philosophy, the sociology of the Islamic world, nationalism, psychoanalysis, East European transformations and kinship structures. Despite this diversity, there is an exceptional degree of unity and coherence in Gellner's work with his distinctly modernist, rationalist and liberal world-view evident in everything he wrote. His central problematic remains constant: understanding how the modern world came into being and to what extent it is unique relative to all other social forms. Ten years after his death, this book brings together leading social theorists to evaluate the significance of Gellner's legacy and to re-examine his central concerns. It corrects many misunderstandings and critically engages with Gellner's legacy to provide a cutting edge contribution to understanding our contemporary post-9/11, global, late modern, social condition.
