Abstract
One goal of this book has been to question the normative claims of late modern social theorists on the basis of their sociological observations — to question late modernity on its own terms. This has led to an elaboration of an alternative sociological critique and normative project influenced by the theory of libertarian socialism. This concluding section recaps exactly why this is relevant to late modernity. This will be achieved by returning to the four tenets of libertarian socialism and their overlaps with the four themes of late modernity.
