About The Book

The Ethics of Modernity: Critical Theory and the Role of Ethics in the Contemporary World by Stephan P. Leher, published by Routledge, offers a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between ethics and modernity. This 180-page hardcover book is ideal for scholars and students in the fields of philosophy, sociology, and political science who are interested in understanding the ethical dimensions of modern life.

In this first edition, Leher examines the challenges and ethical dilemmas faced by individuals and societies in the modern world, offering critical perspectives drawn from the tradition of critical theory. He delves into the works of key theorists to explore how modernity impacts ethical decision-making, social structures, and the way we relate to one another in increasingly complex global contexts.

The book addresses questions of moral responsibility, justice, and the role of ethics in shaping modern institutions, and offers a compelling argument for the ongoing relevance of ethical discourse in contemporary society. Whether for classroom use or individual study, The Ethics of Modernity provides invaluable insights for anyone interested in the ethical implications of modernity and the philosophical underpinnings of contemporary social and political issues.
