In a condition characterised by anomie, the questioning of democratic achievements and the primacy of an unbridled economy, he offers a new perspective on our social condition. Understanding the interregnum and being aware of its instability and the social degradation that it entails can help us to make the right choices UR - https://doi.org/10.14361/9783839435151 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/doc/cover/9783839435151.jpg ER -
