Does Ethics Have a Chance in a World of Consumers? by Zygmunt Bauman
Bauman urges us to think in new ways about a newly flexible, newly challenging modern world. In an era of routine travel, where most people circulate widely, the inherited beliefs that aid our thinking about the world have become an obstacle. He challenges members of the knowledge class to overcome their estrangement from the rest of society.
Zygmunt Bauman's voice is as exemplary as it is powerfulHe writes not only in Max Weber's spirit, but also in that of Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno, as well as Hannah Arendt and Norbert Elias. This is a very important collection by one of the leading thinkers of our time. -- Ron Eyerman, Yale University
