Social forms and institutions no longer have enough time to solidify and cannot serve as frames of reference for human actions and long-term life plans, so individuals have to find other ways to organise their lives. They have to splice toge ..." |
 | | Consuming Life(1st Edition) by Zygmunt Bauman Paperback, 168 Pages, Published 2007 by Polity Press ISBN-13: 978-0-7456-4002-0, ISBN: 0-7456-4002-8 "With the advent of liquid modernity, the society of producers is transformed into a society of consumers. In this new consumer society, individuals become simultaneously the promoters of commodities and the commodities they promote. They are, at one and the same time, the merchandise and the marketer, the goods and the travelling salespeople. They all inhabit the same social space that is customarily described by the term the market. ..." |
 | | Moral Blindness(1st Edition) The Loss of Sensitivity in Liquid Modernity by Zygmunt Bauman, Leonidas Donskis Paperback, 224 Pages, Published 2013 by Polity ISBN-13: 978-0-7456-6275-6, ISBN: 0-7456-6275-7 "Evil is not confined to war or to circumstances in which people are acting under extreme duress. Today it more frequently reveals itself in the everyday insensitivity to the suffering of others, in the inability or refusal to understand them and in the casual turning away of one’s ethical gaze. Evil and moral blindness lurk in what we take as normality and in the triviality and banality of everyday life, and not just in the abnorm ..." |

Liquid life cannot stay on course, as liquid-modern society cannot keep its shape for long. Liquid life is a precarious life, lived under conditions of constant uncertainty. The most acute and stubborn worries that haunt this liquid life are the fears of being caught napping, of failing to catch up with fast moving events, of overlooking the use ..." |

Zygmunt Bauman explores the silences found in debates about the Holocaust, and asks what the historical facts of the Holocaust tell us about the hidden capacities of present-day life. He finds great danger in such phenomena as the seductiveness of martyrdom; going to extremes in the nam ..." |

 | | Retrotopia(1st Edition) by Zygmunt Bauman Paperback, 180 Pages, Published 2017 by Polity ISBN-13: 978-1-5095-1532-5, ISBN: 1-5095-1532-1 "We have long since lost our faith in the idea that human beings could achieve human happiness in some future ideal state ? a state that Thomas More, writing five centuries ago, tied to a topos, a fixed place, a land, an island, a sovereign state under a wise and benevolent ruler. But while we have lost our faith in utopias of all hues, the human aspiration that made this vision so compelling has not died. Instead it is re-emerging tod ..." |
 | | Does Ethics Have a Chance in a World of Consumers? (Institute for Human Sciences Vienna Lecture Series) by Zygmunt Bauman Paperback, 288 Pages, Published 2009 by Harvard University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-674-03351-1, ISBN: 0-674-03351-5 " Zygmunt Bauman is one of the most admired social thinkers of our time. Once a Marxist sociologist, he has surrendered the narrowness of both Marxism and sociology, and dares to write in language that ordinary people can understand—about problems they feel ill equipped to solve. This book is no dry treatise but is instead what Bauman calls “a report from a battlefield,” part of the struggle to find new and adequate ways of thinking abou ..." |
 | | The Individualized Society(1st Edition) by Zygmunt Bauman Paperback, 272 Pages, Published 2001 by Polity Illustrated ISBN-13: 978-0-7456-2507-2, ISBN: 0-7456-2507-X "We are spurred into action by our troubles and fears; but all too often our action fails to address the true causes of our worries. When trying to make sense of our lives, we tend to blame our own failings and weaknesses for our discomforts and defeats. And in doing so, we make things worse rather than better. Reasonable beings that we are, how does this happen and why does it go on happening? These are the questions addressed in this ..." |
 | | Does the Richness of the Few Benefit Us All(1st Edition) by Zygmunt Bauman Paperback, 100 Pages, Published 2013 by Polity ISBN-13: 978-0-7456-7109-3, ISBN: 0-7456-7109-8 "It is commonly assumed that the best way to help the poor out of their misery is to allow the rich to get richer, that if the rich pay less taxes then all the rest of us will be better off, and that in the final analysis the richness of the few benefits us all. And yet these commonly held beliefs are flatly contradicted by our daily experience, an abundance of research findings and, indeed, logic. Such bizarre discrepancy between hard f ..." |
 | | This is Not a Diary(1st Edition) (Paperback) by Zygmunt Bauman Paperback, 216 Pages, Published 2012 by Polity ISBN-13: 978-0-7456-5570-3, ISBN: 0-7456-5570-X "This is not a diary: while these observations were recorded in autumn 2010 and spring 2011 in the form of dated entries, they are not a personal reflection but an attempt to capture signs of our times in their movement - possibly at birth, at a stage when they are still barely perceptible, and in any case before they have matured into common, all too familiar forms, escaping our attention due to their banality. Some will perhaps settle ..." |

This has not happened and today we no longer believe it ever will. In this book, now available in paperback, Bauman argues that our postmodern age is the time for reconciliation with ambivalence, we must learn how to live in an incurably ambiguous world." |
