Andreas Reckwitz Book order

Focusing on the need for comprehensive social theory during crises, this work examines the contributions of German sociologists Andreas Reckwitz and Hartmut Rosa. Despite their differing approaches, both emphasize the importance of analyzing modernity as a social formation. Their theories aim to address the structural conditions and dynamics of contemporary societies, ultimately seeking to diagnose and propose solutions for the crises facing the modern world.

Contemporary society has seen an unprecedented rise in both the demand and the desire to be creative, to bring something new into the world. Once the reserve of artistic subcultures, creativity has now become a universal model for culture and an imperative in many parts of society.
