Summary

‘Situation and Constellation’ is a highly readable and thought-provoking attempt to analyse the current state of affairs, examining the disappearance of freedom of choice in our society, the associated social problems and upheavals, and the resulting public and individual unease and hardship. The book offers a wide range of ideas to stimulate independent reflection and calls for more relevant social science research on the subject.
