Features: Zygmunt Bauman is one of the most renowned social theorists in contemporary Western academia studying modernity and postmodernity. Bauman stands out in the camp of postmodern theory for his extraordinary acumen in sociology and his exceptional literary skills as a creator and interpreter. This book begins with Bauman's analytical strategy for modernity and postmodernity, highlighting the inherent tension in his theoretical logic through the analysis of issues such as intellectuals, the Holocaust, postmodern sociology, ethics, and globalization. It represents, to date, a relatively comprehensive, detailed, and systematic compilation and review of Bauman's theories on the topic of "modernity and postmodernity" in Chinese literature. The publication of this book will undoubtedly deepen the study of modernity and postmodernity in the Chinese academic community.
