Critical Nature and Society at Risk

This book discusses the important dimensions and theoretical foundations of Ulrich Beck’s sociological theory. Beck, one of the most prominent recent sociologists, is distinguished by the breadth of his concepts, his explanation of current conditions, and his fundamental warnings about the future of the social world. He provides predictions about the future environment and various crises that have later occurred. Ulrich warns extensively about reckless changes and transformations in the world and the state of humanity. He sounds the alarm about the capitalist system and neoliberalism. The creators of this collection strive to unveil, through seven essays, the hidden and lesser-known aspects of Ulrich Beck’s theory and present the entirety of his concepts and theories.
