Lumen's Concept of Profilicity in Modernity
Lumen has these two basic characteristics of modernity or modern society the transition of a stratified society towards a functionally differentiated society. In his later works he brings in this closely related second concept which is the concept of second order observation anything second order observation is also perhaps an equally important characteristic of modern society now what does that mean? We don't always see the world directly but as it's being observed or as it'sBeing represented we observe observers so in this context your recent work has talked about profile based identity or the term that you coin for profilicity which is replacing the authenticity or internal inner identity and I want to connect this directly to Lumen’s works.
