Zygmunt Bauman

sociologist Poland

Zygmunt Bauman was a renowned Polish sociologist and philosopher best known for his concept of 'liquid modernity,' which describes the transient and fluid nature of contemporary life. He explored themes such as consumerism, globalization, and the impact of technology on human relationships, emphasizing the ethical implications of these changes. Bauman's work often highlighted the disconnect between rapid technological advancements and the slower evolution of social and moral frameworks, making him a significant voice in discussions about the ethical dimensions of modern society. His insights remain relevant in today's context, particularly regarding the challenges posed by digital communication and the erosion of trust in information.
