Notes
Byung-Chul Han is a Korean-born Professor of Philosophy and Cultural Studies who teaches at the University of the Arts (UdK) in Berlin. He is the author of more than 20 books including The Transparency Society and The Burnout Society.
"The Scent of Time describes what may be the condition of
Byung-Chul Han's unique international success among philosophers
writing today. Starting out with the concept of 'dyschronicity,' he
analyzes a new, centrifugal form of time as a premise of existence
which no longer allows for marked contours, beginnings, or endings
– but to those lively duration we can react with fresh modes of
contemplative life."
Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Stanford University
“an essential philosopher for anyone wanting to diagnose what
plagues the modern person”
