Se ha afirmado que estamos en la era posmoderna. Estallido de lo social, disoluci�n de lo pol�tico: el individuo es el rey y maneja su existencia a la carta... Este libro ausculta esta mutaci�n esencial e investiga los rasgos significativos de los tiempos actuales, tan alejados de la rebeli�n y el disentimiento caracter�sticos de los a�os de expansi�n. Nuevas actitudes: apat�a, indiferencia, deserci�n, el principio de seducci�n sustituyendo al principio de convicci�n, generalizaci�n de la actitud humor�stica. Nueva organizaci�n de la personalidad: narcisismo, nuevas modalidades de la relaci�n social, marcadas en particular por la reducci�n de la violencia y la transformaci�n �ltima de sus manifestaciones. Nuevo estado de la cultura: agotamiento y derrumbe de lo que ha significado la vanguardia durante el siglo XX.

El autor atribuye el conjunto de estos fen�menos a un mismo factor: el individualismo es el nuevo estado hist�rico propio de las sociedades de�mocr�ticas avanzadas, que definir�a precisamente la era posmoderna.
