In life, Ulrich Beck, everything changed because of a coincidence. In 1986, the then teaching in Bamberg sociologist published his book on “risk society”. It was meant as a revision of the left thought. Modern society appeared at Beck not more than one marked by the “class conflict” along with the attached conflict and thus by the position of ind ividuals in economic production. Environmental, technical and biographical risks are not easy to come by redistribution or state administration under control. Not so one of the most striking formulations of the book, the distinction between the top and bottom, smog follow, however, is democratic.

No sooner had Beck wrote that joined the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl. The completed first almost any discussion, there was a book on the situation. In more than thirty languages it was translated, its author, who was an inequality and labor market researchers medium prominence until then, gained prominence maximum. In retrospect, one might almost think he even have the word “globalization” invented, which then spread rapidly.
Becks theories such as those of the increasing “individualization” of life that can no longer rely on milieu-specific traditions, there shone a at least in urban readers from the academic milieu. Books on love and relationship as received phenomena such as single parents and sing le households were read as a sociological counselor in the age of “craft biography”. Although always remained somewhat unclear in all of this, how individuality can be increased at all. But the feeling of career choice and marriage behavior, consumption style and political choices and combinations of all of this were not an “So that was always with us” reasons, had by Beck, who taught at the University of Munich soon thereafter, and by 2009, a time diagnostic prose found.
So if for not only political, but also life-world transition from red to red-green background needed an essay knowing they had it. What Ralf Dahrendorf, the Beck later succeeded to the London School of Economics, was in the sixties for the Social Liberals, it means for the new coalitions. A little later, was invented in England “New Labour”. Again, punctual, 1993, Beck was presented under the title “The reinvention of politics” his “theory of reflexive modernization”, which recommended the parties to separate from the wishes of industrial modernity, their family pictures and their social state control fantasies, their unintended side-effects in taking his eyes.

yourself so knowing in perfect accord with the spirit of the times, Beck had his subject that took apart all his theses and some might keep it, behind it. You could study good at it that time diagnostics also means having to reinvent everything, sometimes what already exists. Beck used, for example, a lot of energy trying to tell sociology, they think too closely within national borders. Or, he said, “God’s own” (2008) estimated an individualization of religion, which had been forty years previously had presented under the title “invisible religion” as a diagnosis. Either so loved the extremely affable, unaggressive intellectuals now belonged to political program and future and ethics committees, produced policy recommendations for the “new center”, was book series matching his diagnoses out and was able to provide information on almost every major social issue.

Personally, thereby lot of self-irony. Among his pupils – to him once a commemorative those “who have all been published under the name of Ulrich Beck,” should have passed – is the ruling on the sympathetic boss who did apply strong arguments differ unanimously. Even colleagues could possibly be angry his freehand developed theses, but never his person. On the first of January, it has been learned, Ulrich Beck died at the age of seventy years.
