Zygmunt Bauman (1925-2017) was Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the University of Leeds.
'These books mark an important advance in Bauman's project. He
seems to be trying to bring the intellectuals back into the game,
twitting them for their passivity. Bauman wants social critics to
take a more active role, taking a lead by showing how the
relationships between individuals and society and between the
private and public spheres may be rearticulated and the spirit of
the agora restored to social and political life.' British Journal
of Sociology
'This provocative, interesting, and engaging book is recommended
for upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty.'
Choice
"His work is essential reading for those political theorists who
feel part of their task is to elaborate relevant and compelling
normative critique." Contemporary Political Theory
