Abstract

In this article, the writer discusses the concept of modernity and its relationship with social movements, as is reflected in classical works on modernity as well as in the contemporary modern political and sociological thoughts. The purpose is not to present a quantitative analysis of the development of the concept of modernity, but to explain the relationship between modernity and political and social changes, for every scientific-sociological theory deals with change as the most prominent aspect of social reality. This involves an analysis of the effects of modernity on the development and the sociological cognition of social movements.
