I think that project of modernity practically started with French Revolution.French revolution was theoritically inspired by humanist and rationalist project of enlightenment. Abolition of feudalism, end of monarchy,freedom of speech, democracy, secularism, abolition of slavery, women rights, constitutionalism & modern legislation, rights and duties of citizen,concept of modern nation state, division of power and many other projects are modernist projects initiated through French revolution. One of the revolutionary leader of French Revolution once remarked that we have accomplished a task of 600 years in 6 months. At the critical junctures of history it seemed that the project of modernism has come to its end like after Napoleon's defeat and Congress of Vienna, when old monarchy stormed back and almost all modernist achievements came to an end. After revolutions of 1831 and 1848 project of modernist returned back and struggle for democratic rights emerged with very powerful voice.First &Second world war were a great set back to humanist project of modernism but after the wounds of these two wars world Europe learned to live peacefully and this project of modernist spread all over the world. Now almost all main thinker of the world believe that future lies in democracy and modernity.Now there seems no chance that old monarchy, feudalism, dictatorship etc will ever overcome over modernist project. I will right a complete essay in detail on this topic in few days.
Dear, Would you be kind enough to share your essay on Modernity, if written.

Dear, I read your essay. I beg to differ with your view-point of Modernity. Your essay seems to portray the "scientific & technological progress and development" as Modernity and deals it as a "positive & necessary" thing for human beings. This is not the case actually. I would like to probe some basic questions here:
1. What do you mean by Modernity ? (Ontological position)
2. What is the thesis/fundamental statement of Modernity that defines it, in your opinion ?
3. Is it a world-view/ideology or mere evolutionary transformation of human race during history ?
4. Whether it is constructive for human beings or destructive ? Because it, actually, de-humanized the world (mechanization of the societies etc.)

Sure, it would be kind of you to post the essay here in order to invite others in this discussion.
As far as the question, "What is meant by Modernity?", is concerned, I could not gather your opinion from your essay.
Shortly, I would post my point of view.

Modernity is traced back to the Reformation Movement lead by Martin Luther with the publication of the Ninety-Five Theses by Luther in 1517. It is referred to the age marked by questioning or rejection of tradition, religious dogma, orthodox faith and moral values. Reason was the fundamental faculty to be the source of all knowledge and truth. Reformation was, then, followed by Renaissance, Enlightenment, Romanticism, Modern and Post-Modern movements.
Modernity is a paradigm shift in human thinking and human relations. This shift in human thinking and relations produced unprecedented socio-economico-political conditions that have drastically restructured human lives. Fundamentally, modernity is the post-traditional way of being; modernity is the post-Medieval consciousness that has left no human institutions untouched in the Western societies. The complex phenomenon of modernity can be understood through Max Weber’s concept of “disenchantment”, Søren Kierkegaard’s concepts of “passion” and “despair”, Friedrich Nietzsche’s concept of “death of God”, and Karl Marx’s concept of “alienation”.

The fundamental idea/thought of Modernity is: “Man is an autonomous rational being”.

This idea or thought or conception of the world (world-view) is known as Modernity. All the historical evolution of human mind and society is the process of actualization of this idea; Reformation to Post-Modernism, Capitalism, Democracy, Surveillance Modern-State, etc.
