Abstract
This chapter develops the theme of modernity by considering the development and fate of socialist ideas and movements in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Socialism was a key philosophy or doctrine of modernity, perhaps even the epitome of modernity. Yet socialist ideas have had a problematic time in the period since the French and American Revolutions, leading to the question of whether the socialist project has failed.
