Jóhann Páll Árnason, Austur, vestur og aftur heim: Greinar um samfélagsheimspeki og siðmenningargreiningu (Hið íslenska bókmenntafélag, 2024)

Sociologist and philosopher Jóhann Páll Árnason, professor emeritus at La Trobe University in Melbourne, is one of Iceland’s most important academics and theorists ever in the humanities and social science. Árnason has left a deep mark on the international academic stage, and most notable in this regard is his re-conceptualization[2] of Karl Jaspers’[3] theory of the Axial Age (500–300 BCE) and Árnason’s theory of multiple modernities.[4] Árnason is still active and productive in academia despite turning 85 this year.
