Part 1: THE MORPHOGENETIC APPROACH: DEBATES AND EXTENSIONS.– Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Analysing the morphogenic society. Regularities and social ontology -- Chapter 3. After late modernity? The morphogenetic approach as hermeneutics of transition -- Part 2: AN OUTLINE OF THE MORPHOGENIC SOCIETY -- Chapter 4. Adaptive responses to unbound morphogenesis: openness and closure in turbulent times -- Chapter 5. War and violence in the morphogenic society -- Chapter 6. The logic of opportunity and its normative (dis)contents -- Chapter 7. Formations of the secular. Transcendence in a society without horizon -- Part 3: HUMANITY COUNTS. ANTHROPOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF UNBOUND MORPHOGENESIS -- Chapter 8. The pressure on the human. Self and character in the new social order -- Chapter 9. A good life without horizon? -- Chapter 10. Conclusion. A glimpse on morphogenic futures.

This book addresses the problem of the transition to new forms of social order in the global world. As a haunting sense of historical discontinuity pervades Western societies, it offers a fresh perspective on the issue, focusing on two basic coordinates to pinpoint the developmental path of rapidly changing societies: one is the mechanism of unfettered social morphogenesis and the other is the specific kind of societal unification brought about by globalization, with the related closure of the world. The book draws on the theoretical work produced in the five volumes of the Springer series ‘’Social Morphogenesis’’ and applies it in a sustained and concerted approach to the empirical examination of macro-social change. The first part of the book presents the social ontology of the morphogenetic approach, and discusses its capacity to interpret macrosocial transitions. The second part then draws a prospective outline of the social formation known as the ‘morphogenic society,’ showing how unbound morphogenesis in a globalized world shapes such crucial phenomena as social norms, war and violence, openness and closure as adaptive responses from social organizations. Lastly, the third part examines the anthropological consequences of these societal trends, focusing on self and character as well as on human fulfillment and the ‘good life’.
