反身現代化（reflexive modernization）或反身現代性（reflexive modernity）
的提出，主要嘗試重估社會學作為有關「當前」的科學及後現代主義的替代方案。
這個概念雖以「後工業社會」（post-industrial society）和「後物質社會」
（postmaterial society）等觀念為基礎，但強調現代化過程本身如何成為現代性
的對象。相關理論聚焦於現代性理念之實現所造成的各種變遷（包括專業主義、
福利國家、市場體制、公民權等），而這些「現代性的成就」標誌了向「第二現
代性」（second modernity）的轉變。之所以稱為反身現代性，是因與於現代性
的較早版本（簡單或第一現代性〔simple or first modernity〕）相對立，正如簡
單或第一現代性與封建傳統主義對立。第一現代性的各種制度（如國家、家庭、
市場）因經濟與文化的全球化而經歷劇烈的變化，隨著個體化（individualization）
的興起，先前社會凝聚（solidarity）的來源愈來愈失去力量。本課程主要聚焦
於 Anthony Giddens、Ulrich Beck 及 Scott Lash 這三個社會理論家的理論，介
紹各家對自反現代化的剖析、特徵刻畫及研究意涵。除導論外，各家理論各分為
理論導論、重要理論原典及應用論文三部分，俾使修課學習如何運用理論於經驗
研究。

reflexive modernization or reflexive modernity
was proposed as an attempt to re-evaluate sociology as a science of the "present" and as an alternative to postmodernism.
Although this concept is divided into "post-industrial society" and "post-material society"
(postmaterial society) and other concepts, but emphasizes how the modernization process itself becomes modernity

Welfare state, market system, citizenship, etc.), and these "achievements of modernity" mark the transition to the "second modernity"
