Rezension zu „The Bauman Reader “
"The Bauman Reader, edited by Beilharz, provides an excellent condensation of the sociologista s remarkably diverse writing in social theory, politics, and philosophy. The Reader scoops up many of Baumana s most significant work on the nature of culture, intellectuals, morality, ethics, modernity, postmodernity, and globalisation." ---- Anthony Elliott, The Australian "This anthology provides the possibility for students of social theory and postmodernity finally to a get a handlea on the multifaceted, deeply veined work of Zygmunt Bauman. Beilharz makes a real contribution by providing organizational categories for Baumana s diverse writing. Further, his broadly reasoned introduction supplies a biographical, historical, and theoretical framework for making overall sense of what Bauman has been up to during his distinguished and highly original career." Jeffrey Alexander, University of California at Los Angeles "Zygmunt Bauman is one of the most enterprising minds in the contemporary social sciences. Beilharza s selection provides a full picture of Bauman as an analyst of class, as a moral philosopher, and as a critic of globalization. The image that emerges is one of a European intellectual of the old style who is entirely up to the exigencies of our time." Peter Wagner, European University Institute
