Book Summary
"The first half of the twentieth century was dominated by modernism. It was
later replaced by postmodernity. This book analytically examines the emergence
and development of modernity and postmodernity in the western countries and
India. The author argues that the classical and modern sociological theories
have become irrelevant to study the present capitalist society. It is in this
context that he examines the social theory, which has replaced sociological
foundational theory. What is important about the book is that besides critically
reviewing modernity and postmodernity, the author elaborates social theories of
liberal and radical postmodernists, namely, Jean Baudrillard, Michel Foucault,
Jean-Francois Lyotard, Jacques Derrida and Fredric Jameson. To
