Quote by Zygmunt Bauman

“Typ oświecenia, jaki socjologia ma do zaoferowania, jest adresowany do jednostek kierujących się wolną wolą i ma na względzie powiększenie oraz umocnienie ich wolności wyboru. Jego bezpośrednim celem jest powrót do pozornie zamkniętej kwestii wyjaśniania, a poprzez to - promowanie zrozumienia. Socjologiczne wyjaśnienie może dodać energii, racjonalności i skuteczności ludzkiej autokreacji i samostanowieniu, owym warunkom wstępnym ludzkiej zdolności decydowania o tym, czy istotnie pragnie się żyć tak, jak żyć, z nieodwołanego ponoć wyroku losu, wypada. Autonomia społeczeństwa zyskuje na autonomii jednostki; społeczeństwa i jednostki mogą tylko sprawę swej autonomii razem wygrać lub razem przegrać.”

Zygmunt Bauman

Zygmunt Bauman (1925-2017) was a Polish-British sociologist and philosopher, widely regarded as one of the most influential social thinkers of the 20th century. He taught sociology at the University of Leeds and was known for his concept of "liquid modernity," which describes the shift from solid, stable social structures to fluid, uncertain conditions. His major works include "Modernity and the Holocaust," "Liquid Modernity," and "Liquid Love." Bauman's analysis of consumer capitalism, social inequality, and the relationship between modernity and genocide has profoundly shaped contemporary sociological thought. more

“In proportion as men were all to resemble each other, and to have faces and manners in common, their self-love was not to be disturbed by any thing in the shape of individuality. A writer might be na tural, but he was to be natural only as far as their sense of nature would go, and this was not a great way. Besides, even when he was natural, he hardly dared to be so in language as well as idea ;- there gradually came up a kind of dress, in which a man’s mind, as well as body, was to clothe itself.”
