Aktuelle Theorien der Moderne gehen von einer Vielfalt der Moderne(n) aus. Dabei werden die Unterschiede häufig als institutionelle und kulturelle Unterschiede verstanden. Auch wenn es sich dabei um durchaus sinnvolle Unternehmen handelt, kommen die jeweils provozierten »menschlichen Konsequenzen« zu kurz. Genau darum ging es aber jener Denktradition, die heute unter dem Namen der Kritischen Theorie bekannt ist. In dem vorliegenden Buch soll an diesem Anspruch festgehalten werden. Die Frage, der das Buch nachgehen will, lautet: Welche Erfahrungen machen Menschen mit und in der globalen Moderne
