"Lo sviluppo della cultura si basa sull'apprendimento di nuove conoscenze e l'oblio di quelle vecchie. Immaginate di dover accendere un fuoco solo con della paglia e una pietra focaia. Non lo sappiamo fare." (Zygmunt Bauman)
Zygmunt Bauman was a world-renowned Polish sociologist and philosopher, and Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the University of Leeds. He was one of the world's most eminent social theorists, writing on issues as diverse as modernity and the Holocaust, postmodern consumerism and liquid modernity and one of the creators of the concept of “postmodernism”.
