The Barbarian Temperament: Towards a Postmodern Critical Theory

By Stjepan G. Meštrović

Book Overview

This scintillating book by one of the most interesting young sociologists currently working in the USA is a provocative and timely contribution to the debate on civilization, modernity and postmodernity. The author argues that modernity never jettisoned barbarism. Instead barbarism was repackaged in modern and postmodern traditions and cultures.
