In this new book, Zygmunt Bauman and Keith Tester engage in five
accessible conversations that uncover and explore the assumptions
and commitments underpinning Bauman's ground-breaking social
thought. The conversations show how those commitments have
influenced Bauman's analyses of modernity, postmodernity and
‘liquid modernity'. The book ranges widely, from
autobiographical reflection through to pointers for the
understanding and future of Bauman's social thought. The
conversations illustrate the moral substance of Bauman's refusal to
accept that the world cannot be made different. They show why
social thought is a human necessity.
Conversations with Zygmunt Bauman is a book which will offer fresh insight into Bauman's work for those who are familiar with it, and provide an engaging and helpful entry point for those who are new to it.
