In recent years, historians across the world have become increasingly interested in transnational and global approaches to the past. However, the debates surrounding this new border-crossing movement have remained limited in scope as theoretical exchanges on the tasks, responsibilities and potentials of global history have been largely confined to national or regional academic communities. In this groundbreaking book, Dominic Sachsenmaier sets out to redress this imbalance by offering a series of new perspectives on the global and local flows, sociologies of knowledge and hierarchies that are an intrinsic part of historical practice. Taking the United States, Germany and China as his main case studies, he reflects upon the character of different approaches to global history as well as their social, political and cultural contexts. He argues that this new global trend in historiography needs to be supported by a corresponding increase in transnational dialogue, cooperation and exchange.

多元現代性的一個共同核心是「高度的反思性」，承認現代社會在心智、價值體系、各種制度等方面總是存著差異，並且打破西方社會學那種傾向把現代化等同於世界文化同質的心態。本書試圖從歷史、社會學、哲學和經濟學等方面，探討大量與多元現代性關係密切的問題，例如認同建構、普遍價值、社會變革和經濟文化的演變問題等。目的是加深讀者對現代性的各種形式的理解。本書作者為世界知名的學者及理論家，是從事人文、社會科學研究的頂
