.................. has been labelled as "the high priest of modernity".
Answer: B
The label 'the high priest of modernity' is attached to Anthony Giddens.
Giddens's later work is built around modernity: The Consequences of Modernity (1990) and Modernity and Self-Identity (1991) argue that we live in 'high' or 'late' modernity rather than in a postmodern age, marked by time-space distanciation, disembedding and reflexivity. Critics such as Stjepan Mestrovic, in Anthony Giddens: The Last Modernist, treated him as the leading defender of the modernist project, which is the sense of the label.
Talcott Parsons wrote on modernisation, but well before the modernity debate of the 1990s. Peter M. Blau is known for exchange theory and the study of organisations, and Randall Collins for conflict theory.
