Ernest Gellner was a unique scholar whose work covered areas
as diverse as social anthropology, analytical philosophy, the
sociology of the Islamic world, nationalism, psychoanalysis, East
European transformations and kinship structures. Despite this
diversity, there is an exceptional degree of unity and coherence in
Gellner''s work with his distinctly modernist, rationalist and
liberal world-view evident in everything he wrote. His central
problematic remains constant: understanding how the modern world
came into being and to what extent it is unique relative to all
other social forms. Ten years after his death, this book brings
together leading social theorists to evaluate the significance of
Gellner''s legacy and to re-examine his central concerns. It
corrects many misunderstandings and critically engages with
Gellner''s legacy to provide a cutting edge contribution to
understanding our contemporary post-911, global, late modern,
social condition.
