作者：奧古斯托·德爾·諾斯、卡洛·蘭切洛蒂，2015 年 1 月 1 日

在他的祖國意大利，奧古斯托·德爾·諾斯被認為是二戰後時期最傑出的政治思想家和哲學家之一。《現代性的危機》首次以英文出版了德爾·諾斯關於二十世紀文化史的論文和演講選集。

德爾·諾斯認為，二十世紀的曆史必須被理解為哲學史，因為西方文化深受上個世紀主要哲學的影響，如唯心主義、馬克思主義和實證主義。

法國大革命後，這些哲學成為歐洲知識階層的世俗、新諾斯替基督教的替代品，並在下個世紀對它們進行了實踐檢驗，揭示了它們的最終和必然後果。

德爾諾斯是最早認識到馬克思主義失敗的思想家之一，他認為這種失敗為一個新的世俗、技術官僚社會奠定了基礎，這個社會接受了馬克思的曆史唯物主義和無神論，同時拒絕了他的革命學說。

《現代性的危機》展現了德爾諾斯重建思想譜係和揭示社會和政治運動的深層形而上學前提的罕見能力，對世俗化、科學主義、性革命和現代西方文化史進行了獨到的解讀。

危機中的晚期現代性：我們為什麽需要社會理論

作者：Andreas Reckwitz、Hartmut Rosa – 2023 年 8 月 7 日

在社會動蕩和多重危機不斷的時代，我們需要一種能夠縱觀全局、分析現代社會廣泛發展特征、其結構條件和動態並指出擺脫我們所麵臨的危機的可能方法的社會理論。在過去的幾十年裏，兩位德國社會學家 Andreas Reckwitz 和 Hartmut Rosa 一直試圖提供這種廣泛的社會理論。雖然他們的理論非常不同，但他們都認為，對現代性作為一種社會形態的分析必須放在社會學的核心位置，社會理論最終應該用於診斷當前的危機。

在這本書中，Andreas Reckwitz 和 Hartmut Rosa 聯手探討了當今社會理論的價值和局限性。他們清晰而簡明地闡述了自己的社會理論，闡明了他們的關鍵概念（包括雷克維茨的“單一化”、羅莎的“加速”和“共鳴”），並闡述了他們的理論對於理解我們今天麵臨的多重危機的影響。這本書不僅為當今兩位最重要的社會學家的作品提供了極好的介紹，還生動地展示了他們所倡導的現代社會大膽社會理論的價值。

The Crisis of Modernity 

https://www.amazon.ca/Crisis-Modernity-Augusto-Del-Noce/dp/0773544437/ref=sr_1_1?dib=
by Augusto Del Noce, Carlo Lancellotti ,Jan. 1 2015

In his native Italy Augusto Del Noce is regarded as one of the preeminent political thinkers and philosophers of the period after the Second World War. The Crisis of Modernity makes available for the first time in English a selection of Del Noce's essays and lectures on the cultural history of the twentieth century. 

Del Noce maintained that twentieth-century history must be understood specifically as a philosophical history, because Western culture was profoundly affected by the major philosophies of the previous century such as idealism, Marxism, and positivism. 

Such philosophies became the secular, neo-gnostic surrogate of Christianity for the European educated classes after the French Revolution, and the next century put them to the practical test, bringing to light their ultimate and necessary consequences. 

One of the first thinkers to recognize the failure of Marxism, Del Noce posited that this failure set the stage for a new secular, technocratic society that had taken up Marx’s historical materialism and atheism while rejecting his revolutionary doctrine. 

Displaying Del Noce's rare ability to reconstruct intellectual genealogies and to expose the deep metaphysical premises of social and political movements, The Crisis of Modernity presents an original reading of secularization, scientism, the sexual revolution, and the history of modern Western culture.

Late Modernity in Crisis: Why We Need a Theory of Society 

https://www.amazon.ca/Late-Modernity-Crisis-Theory-Society/dp/1509556303/ref=sr_1_3?dib=
by Andreas Reckwitz, Hartmut Rosa  – Aug. 7 2023

In times of entrenched social upheaval and multiple crises, we need the kind of social theory that is prepared to look at the big picture, analyze the broad developmental features of modern societies, their structural conditions and dynamics, and point to possible ways out of the crises we face. Over the last couple of decades, two German sociologists, Andreas Reckwitz and Hartmut Rosa, have sought to provide wide-ranging social theories of this kind. While their theories are very different, they share in common the view that the analysis of modernity as a social formation must be kept at the heart of sociology, and that the theory of society should ultimately serve to diagnose the crises of the present.

In this book, Andreas Reckwitz and Hartmut Rosa join forces to examine the value and the limits of a theory of society today. They provide clear and concise accounts of their own theories of society, explicate their key concepts – including "singularization" in the case of Reckwitz, "acceleration" and “resonance” in the case of Rosa – and draw out the implications of their theories for understanding the multiple crises we face today. The result is a book that provides both an excellent introduction to the work of two of the most important sociologists writing today and a vivid demonstration of the value of the kind of bold social theory of modern societies that they espouse.
