Description
"Modernity, Pluralism and the Crisis of Meaning" by Peter L. Berger examines how modernity, characterized by pluralism and rapid social change, has disrupted traditional sources of meaning such as religion and community. In pre-modern societies, people lived within unified cultural frameworks that provided clear narratives of purpose. However, in modern societies, individuals are exposed to diverse, often conflicting worldviews, leading to what Berger calls a "crisis of meaning." As a result, people now face the challenge of creating personal systems of meaning in a fragmented world. Institutions like religion and politics try to address this crisis, but the increasing individualization of meaning-making places more responsibility on individuals to find coherence and purpose in their lives.
