Individualized Society
Polity Press (Verlag)
978-0-7456-2506-5 (ISBN)
Sociology can help us to understand the processes that have shaped the society in which we live today, a society in which individualization has become our fate. And sociology can also help us to see that if our individual but shared anxieties are to be effectively tackled, they need to be addressed collectively, true to their social, not individual, nature. The Individualized Society will be of great interest to students of sociology, politics and the social sciences and humanities generally. It will also appeal to a broader range of readers who are interested in the changing nature of our social and political life today.
Zygmunt Bauman is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the Universities of Leeds and Warwick.
