Steven B. Smith examines the concept of modernity, not as the end product of historical developments but as a state of mind. He explores modernism as a source of both pride and anxiety, suggesting that its most distinctive characteristics are the selfcriticisms and doubts that accompany social and political progress. Providing profiles of the modern projects most powerful defenders and criticsfrom Machiavelli and Spinoza to Saul Bellow and Isaiah Berlinthis provocative work of philosophy and political science offers a novel perspective on what it means to be modern and why discontent and sometimes radical rejection are its inevitable byproducts.

I was excited to read this, but it arrived a week late with some pages slightly dog-eared. The content seems great, but the condition it arrived in was a letdown. I hope the second reading goes smoother!

Not for the faint of heart
This book is definitely a challenging read. The arguments are complex, and sometimes it feels like it goes off on tangents. However, if you stick with it, there's much to unpack! Ideal for scholars or anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of modernity.

Interesting but poorly organized
While the ideas in this book are compelling, I found the organization to be a bit lacking. It jumps around a lot, which made it hard to follow at times. I appreciated the depth but wished for clearer structure.

Great content, but dense at times
I found the concepts in 'Modernity and Its Discontents' fascinating, but the writing can be quite dense. It took me longer to get through than I expected. Still, I learned a lot and would recommend it to anyone interested in cultural criticism.

An essential exploration of modernity
This book brilliantly explores the making and unmaking of the bourgeoisie. It weaves historical and contemporary perspectives that really made me think. A must-read for anyone interested in societal change and philosophy!
