Fragments of Modernity

Georg Simmel, Siegfried Kracauer, Walter Benjamin... These three important thinkers of the twentieth century focused on a certain main theme with similar methods: The experience of modernity in everyday life. All three prefer to start from the crumbs, rubbish, leftovers, in short, "fragments" of modernity. With a philosophical approach and penetrating analyses, they look at what and how modernity has transformed our lives. They focus on the disintegration of traditional perceptions of time, space and causality, and the impact of money and commodities on our lives.

Sociologist David Frisby sifts through the works of these thinkers, whose values were understood relatively late, and presents a rich panorama of their thoughts. In addition to being a good introduction to the world of these three thinkers, the book is also a special review in which we can find valuable insights to understand "the world we live in."
