This book is the reconstruction of a critical theory of modernity. 'The Theory of Modernity' is divided into four parts: freedom, equality, solidarity and responsibility. The first three follow the basic ideas of the constitutional revolutions of the 18th century.
Domingues discusses classical topics in philosophy and sociologyand transforms them in a way that brings new and actual insights giving the subject his own style and character.
