Viviamo in mare aperto, sotto l'onda continua, senza un punto fermo e uno strumento che misuri il peso e la distanza delle cose. Nulla sembra stare più al suo posto, molto sembra non avere più un suo posto. Non vediamo la direzione di marcia, così solchiamo un territorio sconosciuto, in ordine sparso. I principi che hanno sostanziato l'ethos repubblicano, quel sistema di regole che ha orientato i rapporti di autorità e le modalità della loro l...

There is nothing new about evil, it has been with us since time immemorial. But there is something new about the kind of evil that characterizes our contemporary liquid-modern world. The evil that characterized earlier forms of solid modernity was concentrated in the hands of states claiming monopolies on the means of coercion and using the means at their disposal to pursue their ends ends that were at times horrifically brutal and barbaric. I...

This topical new book by Zygmunt Bauman explores the notion of identity in the modern world. As we grapple with the insecurity and uncertainty of liquid modernity, Bauman argues that our socio-political, cultural, professional, religious and sexual identities are undergoing a process of continual transformation. Identities the world over have become more precarious than ever: we live in an era of constant change and disposability - whether it'...

Originally in 1978, this important work, by one of the leading European social theorists, is arguably the best introduction to the hermeneutic tradition as a whole. It is designed to help students of sociology and philosophy place the problems of "understanding social science" in their historical and philosophical context. It does so by presenting the major current in sociological thought as responses to the challenge of hermeneutics. The idea...

More than ever before, our conflict-ridden, drifting planet needs the qualities that Europe, unique among the continents, has developed in more than two millennia of history: its self-criticism, its urge to self-transcendence, exploration and experiment, its conviction that alternative and better forms of human togetherness can be achieved, as well as its dedication to the cause of seeking and promoting this improvement in practice. But today ...

Dal Settecento, in Europa, agli ebrei si chiede di assimilarsi. In cambio si promette loro l'eguaglianza. Due secoli dopo quella parabola finirà con milioni di morti. In mezzo, come racconta Bauman, il percorso è stato accidentato: quanto più gli ebrei vanno in cerca dell'assimilazione, tanto più la diffidenza nei loro confronti cresce. Zygmunt Bauman, in questo suo testo del 1988, analizza i meccanismi culturali che stanno dietro alle richies...

In a World that Thrives on Fear, Have FaithCompared to all previous generations, we are safer, live longer, hurt less, and earn more. Yet we are more afraid than ever. Fear has slipped into our souls, leaving us on edge and constantly anxious. No longer a safe harbor, a source of strength, or a bastion for love, faith has fallen prey to a culture of fear. We face a defining moment. Will we cave to fear or rise in faith? Stephan Bauman, the for...

Secondo Bauman, a differenza del passato illustre del continente, oggi l'Europa sembra aver perso la sicurezza in se stessa e il gusto dell'avventura. Presa nelle spire di un mondo che si trasforma, comincia a guardare agli altri con diffidenza e paura, si chiude agli immigrati, affoga nella povertà della sua fantasia, nella limitatezza delle sue risorse e non ha più volontà sufficiente per seguire le sue inclinazioni. Eppure mai prima d'ora q...
