Modernity differs from all preceding forms of social order because of its dynamism, its deep undercutting of traditional habits and customs, and its global impact. It also radicallly alters the general nature of daily life and the most personal aspects of human activity. In fact, one of the most distinctive features of modernity is the increasing interconnection between globalizing influences and personal dispositions. The author analyzes the nature of this interconnection and provides a conceptual vocabulary for it, in the process providing a major rethinking of the nature of modernity and a reworking of basic premises of sociological analysis. Building on the ideas set out in the authors The Consequences of Modernity, this book focuses on the self and the emergence of new mechanisms of self-identity that are shaped by--yet also shape--the institutions of modernity. The author argues that the self is not a passive entity, determined by external influences. Rather, in forging their self-identities, no matter how local their contexts of action, individuals contribute to and directly promote social influences that are global in their consequences and implications. The author sketches the contours of the he calls "high modernity"--the world of our day--and considers its ramifications for the self and self-identity. In this context, he analyzes the meaning to the self of such concepts as trust, fate, risk, and security and goes on the examine the "sequestration of experience," the process by which high modernity separates day-to-day social life from a variety of experiences and broad issues of morality. The author demonstrates how personal meaninglessness--the feeling that life has nothing worthwhile to offer--becomes a fundamental psychic problem in circumstances of high modernity. The book concludes with a discussion of "life politics," a politics of selfactualization operating on both the individual and collective levels.
源于现代性内在参照系统延伸的生活政治的议事日程，涵概了一些不同的领域。抽象系统侵入到自然世界中，而把自然带入了一个外在于人的知识和生活的领域终结区。然而，人对自然控制的极度扩张（这与其他的控制领域一样产生了新的不可预期性）已达到了极限。这些当然包括由此带来的环境的破坏和崩溃，但更重要地是，它们重新引入了外在于现代性抽象系统的争论性参量的那种激励。换言之，受压抑的存在管不仅仅是与自然有关，而且还与这类的存在的参量有关，它已被迫使它们自己返回到议事日程上来了。这一过程并非是一个自动的过程，在日常生活的水平上以及在集体斗争中，道德与存在的问题又积极地重新复活，进而受到公开的讨论。这类争论所关心的具体道德领域，并不只是应该为人类在自然中生存做些什么的问题，而且还包括存在本身应如何被把握和“被度过”（lived）：这便是海德格尔的“存在问题”（question of being）。“自然的末日”提出了许多新的要考虑额问题，因为固有的组织领域已经变得太宽泛了。与其他实质性的道德问题一样，这些都以某种方式包含了生活方式的选择。它们都对我们提出了有难度的分析问题，并未我们指出了道德的困境。 (查看原文)
I didn't finish the last two chapters in time for some one requested the book so I had to return it to the library. However the first five chapters give me very strong impression of word reflexivity. Since that Anthony Giddens believed modernity's importan...

It is really hard to finish this book espcially when I am very anxious about looking for the future direction of my phd thesis. So I just roughly read the 1,2 and last chapter, but I have to say that Giddens is a great writer, he did so many researches cove...

crazy book, very good point of self narrative as the end of self identity though its constructed and structured.

和中文译本对着读，从纯粹关系到癌症到核武器，主要是local和global联合起来导致个体面临各种本体性危机、焦虑等等，内容太庞杂以至于很多论述感觉一笔带过不尽兴。社会学家但是钟情于心理学、政治学和哲学的引用启发。值得注意的是，吉登斯的identity是广义的（我是谁）而非狭义的（性别、阶层、种族等），这使得像我这种被后者吸引来的人会对书籍真正的主题modernity感到格外遗憾
