抄録

Ulrich Beck is a sociologist who considers that the change in the social structure occurred in the latter half of the twentieth century, especially since the 1970's, toward a radicalization of modernity, which is called as "reflexive modernization". According to him, risk society, globalization, and individualization are the most important aspects of reflexive modernity.<br>In this paper, the concept of Beck's individualization is examined to explore following points: the type of situation he attempted to explain via this concept, the significance of this concept in the history of sociology, and the function of this concept in practical sociology.<br>The article begins by arguing that his concept of individualization can be divided into three sub-concepts: a pure sociological concept, contemporary diagnosis, and normative demand. Among these sub-concepts, his greatest concern lies in the second one. Individualization in this sense implies new opportunities and problems. The paper then compares this concept of individualization with the concept of individualization or individual in the theories presented by the first modern sociologists. This comparison shows that Beck's concept of individualization expresses a more reflexive self in the stage of society where differentiation in society is more advanced. Finally, the paper examines the critiques of the concept of individualization by sociologists in empirical studies conducted in Germany. It should be noted that this concept is able to perform the same function as "Idealtyp" in practical sociology.
