The interviewer, Felicity Barr, has presented the perfect interview. She asks the relevant questions and lets the interviewee answer, gives him the time he needs to articulate views on complex issues. You rarely see quality like this on other channels...
This is the most significant interview which I have ever heard. Yes, we caused the destruction of the societies from which people are coming to our countries seeking help. It is essential that we integrate them and at the same time escape from our own religious primitivism. We can do so by creating a truly secular society which is based on the needs of humans and abandon the gods of history. We have an opportunity...................
I'm reading every book I can find from him since I read "The Individualized Society." His writing is just mesmerizing, meticulous and concise. Pure joy.
No one had accurately explained Modern Life as deeply as the wise great Sociologist Zygmunt Bauman! Thanks for Felicity Barr for her proficiency to ask such great quality of questions.
WOW... I surely didn't expect that much clarity. I was warned once by a man, unknown at the time, but wise in my contemplation of what he said. He said be neither optimistic or pessimistic, rather consider that we have a lot of work to do, just get to it. That sentiment, in my older years has evened out the high peaks and the low valleys. That is what keeps me happy. And now I'm sure I'm going to find a new hero in Zyg, thank you for the introduction. Lawson di Ransom Canyon
Seems like people from around the whole world admired him for his wisdom and insight. And yet wherever he's mentioned, you'll find misled Poles perpetuating disgusting slanders about him, which are almost needlessly to say - very far from truth. Seems like no prophet is accepted in his own land, or at least in modern-day Poland.
the fun fact is that in most cases this madness, which causes a lot of people from Poland to spend their time hating Bauman, comes from their fear of the modern world in which they can't find a place for themselves. and this was precisely one of the main things he wanted to understand and help us cope with
*Bauman was a communist criminal,* an activist of KBW (Polish equivalent of the Russian NKVD) that murdered Polish patriots who fought with communist regime. But useful millennial idiots still listen to his marxist/postmodernism nonsense and think they're being "educated"... Incredible.
I must commend Aljazeera on raising the standard on conversation in the news. Their broad news coverage of the world and documentaries that showcase the world are thought provoking and insightful. They are truly helping to foster greater understanding among the different peoples on this blue planet we all inhabit. The only only other news programming that I find this compelling is 'Fareed Zakaria GPS'.
Suffering and it's permutations through desire, instead of going into the suffering to find God and through God to see this planetary suffering as seeking enlightenment. Yathabhuta.
Exelente interview.... professor bauman tell us , is not hope for humanity, well only for the humanity is in the last part of the piramyd,when one part of the mechanics of the economy sistem don work really good no more, the all sistem strat break in parts.....🤌🤔.... tank you professor bauman.
Mr Bauman was an comunist agent in last century when comunism govenrment terror ruled in Poland. Many people, especially Poles, still inculpate him for what he had done in his early years. Even if he is a great sociologist now.
17:02 Can multiculturalism ever work? Personally I don't accept the term multiculturalism. It's much safer to speak that we are all cast im multicultural environments.... We are all tied together, but the trouble is that we didn't even start yet developing cosmopolitan consciousness which means not only thinking in terms of our direct vicinity and environment but also understand this global connections which determine the condition under which we live.... No enemy remaining against whom we will integrate. That's a new situation, untested, unpracticed so far and that's what makes our present moment so.. on the side terrifying, on the other so exciting.
Initially, I want to comment that this intellectual “liquid fear” is at every turn intensified by the powerful’s disregard for global institutions. I don’t mean those institutions of war, such as, NATO, or economic supremacy, such as, the EU but the institutions put in place to defend peace and justice, which are, the UN and the ICJ. If we identify who or what diminishes these vitally important institutions we might start to make these intangible fears more tangible.
Interesting that he mentions Yemen, Libya and Syria but not Palestine. Nobly, he states there are many tragedies not just the Holocaust but it would be good to hear his views on Israel. Einstein was unequivocally against a Jewish ethnostate. Was Bauman?
22.30 he mentions that in the long term he is optimistic about what he calls a more “cosmopolitan consciousness” with regard to everything except the Palestinian Israeli conflict. It is unfortunate he was not asked why this was the case.
What an awkwardness & lack of respect to put subtitles to his words. He was not an English native speaker but he speaks a perfect and clear English, and far away higher than the native speaker interviewer.
As a language teacher I disagree. You seem to forget that not everyone can understand English as well as he speaks it. Some people need subtitles so that they can, pause it, read it, and translate in to their own language, especially since his words are something that everyone should experience.
What else hurt you? Maybe the reporter sitting cross legged infront of such a decorated personality, or maybe them making an old man speak for almost half an hour?

the interviewer is right. The degree of uncertainty in the middle ages was also quite great. Some feudal emperors were totally mad. They were unpredictable. They could take your life at any time. There were diseases such as the plague. There was war all the time. When you were a jew, you were threatened by the next outburst of violence all the time. You never knew when it was going to happen. Sometimes, a house caught fire. Within a few hours, the whole village had burned down. If you were lucky, your were saved, masseltoff. Suddenly, there was an invasion. People from the Osman empire made you a slave of their domination. Or you had a snake bite and died. Or a dog bite. Unfortunately, there was no vaccination, so ANY bite could be deadly. Or there was a bad summer, too hot, not enough rain. The whole family died of starvation, waht a bad luck. If this isn't UNCERTAINTY, I don't know what the word means...
After inventing the printing press & why destroyed better lean & learn how to used. 🤔 The technology is not at fault. 😥 it is the people that used how is use that makes the diference. YOU can blame sky news & his owner, not really the processors or the electrical wires. however photons might have a word🤔
There is no information is convenient concept acceptance since school days, it is called the system In our world there are some rich good & noble fellows as well some are closer to exploitation & speculation. the economy is a point however the current economy is out of tune as they address a psychological problems with a scarcity principle which creates a loop of inconstancy/ there are good honest artist while there others who are bad/ the same takes place with the middle class & the poor fellows/ perception of the whole is the problem/ the solution comes ultimately to the art's & crafts. However not all painters & artist deserve the price, some are just marketing actors of the arts imagination. Perception as a consensus to the psyche can reorganize the minds construct based on natural artistic form with nobility of spirit. DISPERSION shows the way, so to speak, that leads to gathering together.
Such a great collections of life views by Zygmunt Bauman. I got to watch this because of my schools ethics class and I hope that more people get to see this interview.
This is just another sign for whats happening. I hope the empathic People of the world will win and turn this crisis. Like Galtung says... the US empire will soon fall. And who knows what will happen to Europe
and if it aint so how is it different can we have a parameter of certainity in any case if not then my theory would be u build upon what beck said in a contemprarory sense
If you want to talk about problems of humanity then you must address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict . Well he made a passing remark of that , otherwise nothing much to learn .
I see it in a different light... They addressed it. and what he said about it, I would not call a passing remark. It is on point, and arguably, given the dire outlook about any positive change happening in one of humanity's big tragedies, I am ok with it being a relatively small part of the interview.

Социолог Зигмунд Бауман написал множество трудов, в заголовках которых используется слово " liquid". Эти книги, как клоны были изданы во многих странах мира и заразили даже умы молодёжи. Философия Баумана характеризуется релятивизмом идей, их противоречивостью, неуверенностью. На мой взгляд, Зигмунд Бауман - неликвидный профессор.
