| Description |
The great American sociologist C. Wright Mills noted in 1959 that in our time the problems of Western societies are almost inevitably universal problems (Mills 1959:164-180). He already spoke of postmodernity and pointed his ?nger to one of the foremost characteristics of contemporary globalisation: the tension between Reason and Liberty. According to Mills, this tension caused malaise and a certain indifference that led to the formation of a happy robot in contrast to the Enlightenment model of a creative human being.
