Multiple Modernities: An Interpratation
A major merit of the multiple modernities approach is its ability to incorporate within its framework new phenomena as well as phenomena from the past. Thus, the approach has a very strong potential to extend its explanatory power and relevance. This merit of the approach is exemplified, in the article, by suggesting several such extensions. Thus, it is argued that certain contemporary populist movements share some similarities with Jacobin moder…
Social Change: The Contributions of S.N. Eisenstadt
Social change is a major focus of Shmuel Noah Eisenstadt's sociological work. It runs as a thread that binds together many of his works, from his earliest studies on the absorption of immigrants and empires, through his explorations of Axial civilizations, up to his later works on multiple modernities. We highlight his major theoretical contributions to social change, including his discussions of the great revolutions. We also point out some subs…
With and beyond Shmuel N. Eisenstadt: Transglobality
Handbook of Israel: Major Debates
The Handbook of Israel: Major Debates serves as an academic compendium for people interested in major discussions and controversies over Israel. It provides innovative, updated and informative knowledge on a range of acute debates. Among other topics, the handbook discusses post-Zionism, militarism, democracy and religion, (in)equality, colonialism, today’s criticism of Israel, Israel-Diaspora relations, and peace programs. Outstanding scholars f…
World Religions and Multiculturalism: A Dialectic Relation
This book is about new forms of religiosity and religious activity emerging in the context of their dialectic relations with contemporary multicultural realities. World religions are effectively a major agent of the multiculturalization of contemporary societies. However, multiculturalism pushes them not only toward change and reforms, but also toward new conflicts between and within them. This process should remind us of the Jewish legend of the…
Transnationalism: Diasporas and the Advent of a New (Dis)order
This book deals with transnationalism and captures its singularity as a generalized phenomenon. The profusion of transnational communities is a factor of fluidity in social orders and represents confrontations between contingencies and basic socio-cultural drives. It has created a new era different from the past at essential respects
Social Change: The Contributions of S. N. Eisenstadt
Social change is a major focus of S. N. Eisenstadt's sociological work. It runs as a thread that binds together many of his works, from his earliest studies on absorption of immigrants (1952) and empires (1963), through his explorations in Axial civilizations (see, e.g., 1986), up to his later works about multiple modernities (among others, 2003). A recurring theme in Eisenstadt's work is his emphasis on endemic factors – in‐built tensions, contr…
Comparing Modernities: Pluralism Versus Homogenity. Essays in Homage to Shmuel N. Eisenstadt
The authors of this volume explore the tensions and dilemmas that impact pluralism and homogeneity in modern societies. This is the first work in this field in which the frame of discussion is a comparative civilizational analysis. It focuses on issues that are at the heart of the contemporary human experience and culture. The contributors to this book, renowned scholars from all over the world, tackle these issues by referring to different tempo…
Divergent Commitments and Identity Crisis
This article argues that recent heated debates within sociology around the definition of the discipline’s terms of reference reflect basic identity dilemmas of sociology the seeds of which are found in the discipline’s “deep structures.” Our contention is that sociology is given to inner tensions rooted in a fundamental dilemma between its two basic and original aspirations: moral commitment and scientific validation. From this dilemma stem four …
Divergent Commitments and Identity Crisis
Analyzing Our Time: A Sociological ProblÉmatique

The 34 contributions are centered on six themes. The first is multiple modernities, showing us that there is no single road to the modernization of societies. The second theme is globalization, with new concepts like spatialization, world languages and new social movemen…
