Modernity as a Field of Tensions
This chapter discusses the field of modernity and its contrasting theoretical perspective in recent years, stressing that modernity should as a multiplicity instead of as a totality or a double-edged phenomenon. By using the concept of multiplicity, it is neither possible to complete the modernity project and epoch. Furthermore, by viewing it as a multiplicity, tension is produced from its openness to interpretation. The chapter elaborates on that openness of modernity and its consequences, concluding by saying the modernity should not be acknowledged with a specific geography, civilization or ethnicity.
