::" Few human creatures would consent to be changed into any of the lower animals, for a promise of the fullest allowance of a beast's pleasures ; no intelligent human being would consent to be a fool, no instructed person would be an ignoramus, no person of feeling and conscience would be selfish and base, even though they should be persuaded that the fool, the dunce, or the rascal is better satisfied with his lot than they are with theirs … A being of higher faculties requires more to make him happy, is capable probably of more acute suffering, and is certainly accessible to it at more points, than one of an inferior type ; but in spite of these liabilities, he can never really wish to sink into what he feels to be a lower grade of existence … It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied ; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied.

Zygmunt Bauman says Postmodernity is best described as Modernity without illusion.

In a series of diagrams illustrating the " environments " that influence various painterly styles, the Suprematist is associated with a series of aerial views rendering the familiar landscape into an abstraction ... ( excerpted from Ms. Bekman Chadaga's paper delivered at Columbia University's 2000 symposium, " Art, Technology, and Modernity in Russia and Eastern Europe ")

It is important to note that urban planning discourse within Modernity and Postmodernity has developed in different contexts, even though they both grew within a capitalist culture.

Jonathan Israel, for example, in Enlightenment Contested: Philosophy, Modernity, and the Emancipation of Man, 1670 – 1752 ( 2006 ), constructs an argument that is primarily intellectual in scope.

The 1990s is often considered the end of Modernity and the dawn of the current Postmodern age, even though the first traces of postmodernity takes place as far back as the 1940s.

Noting this important conceptual shift, major contemporary theorists such as Matei Calinescu in Five Faces of Modernity: Modernism, Avant-garde, Decadence, Kitsch, Postmodernism ( 1987 ), and Hans Bertens in The Idea of the Postmodern: A History ( 1995 ), have suggested that this is a sign our culture has entered a new post-modern age, when the former modernist ways of thinking and behaving have been rendered redundant.

In his 1987 book All That is Solid Melts into Air: The Experience of Modernity, particularly in the chapter entitled " Innovative Self-Destruction " ( pp. 98 – 104 ), Marshall Berman provides a reading of Marxist " creative destruction " to explain key processes at work within modernity.

He is the author of Contemporary Orthodox Judaism's Response to Modernity, Why We Pray What We Pray and numerous other scholarly publications.

Modernity as a " plural condition " is the central concept of this sociologic approach and perspective, which broadens the definition of " modernity " from exclusively denoting Western European culture to a culturally relativistic definition, thereby: " Modernity is not Westernization, and its key processes and dynamics can be found in all societies " ( Delanty 2007 ).

Modernity, or the Modern Age, is typically defined as a post-traditional, and post-medieval historical period ( Heidegger 1938, 66 – 67 ).

Modernity is defined as a period or condition loosely identified with the Progressive Era, the Industrial Revolution, or the Enlightenment.

This stage is reflected by his critique of postmodernity, and discussions of a new " utopian-realist " third way in politics, visible in the Consequences of Modernity ( 1990 ), Modernity and Self-Identity ( 1991 ), The Transformation of Intimacy ( 1992 ), Beyond Left and Right ( 1994 ) and The Third Way: The Renewal of Social Democracy ( 1998 ).

Modernity merely held out the hope of reasonable change while continuing to deal with a historical set of issues and concerns ; hypermodernity posits that things are changing so quickly that history is not a reliable guide.

Postmodernity is meant to describe a condition of total emergence from Modernity and its faith in progress and improvement in empowering the individual.

Her memoirs, translated into English under the title of " Crowning Anguish: Memoirs of a Persian Princess from the Harem to Modernity 1884-1914 ", is held in the archives of Iran's National Library.

One example of this is her recent work to coordinate Origins of Modernity, a project that integrated first-year studies with essays from the Augustana community and an elaborate art exhibit and catalogue, as well as a community convocation event.

His study of Second Empire Paris and the events surrounding the Paris Commune in Paris, Capital of Modernity, is undoubtedly his most elaborated historical-geographical work.

Oden says his mission is " to begin to prepare the postmodern Christian community for its third millennium by returning again to the careful study and respectful following of the central tradition of classical Christianity " ( After Modernity ... What ?, p. 34 ).

Perhaps we can find in this film not only an indigenized sport but also indigenized practices of exhibition, objectification, and journalism, which recalls Appadurai's point in Modernity at Large that: indigenization is often a product of collective and spectacular experiments with modernity and not necessarily of the subsurface affinity of new cultural forms with existing patterns in the cultural repertoire.

Some of his most important works include Worship and Conflict under Colonial Rule ( 1981 ), " Disjuncture and Difference in the Global Cultural Economy " ( 1990 ), of which an expanded version is found in Modernity at Large ( 1996 ), and Fear of Small Numbers ( 2006 ).
