Zygmunt Bauman was a prominent Polish sociologist and philosopher who made significant contributions to social theory.
He held the position of Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the University of Leeds.
Bauman's work spanned a wide range of topics, including modernity, the Holocaust, postmodern consumerism, and liquid modernity.
He was instrumental in developing the concept of postmodernism.
Known for his critical analysis of contemporary society, Bauman's writings explored the complexities of human relationships, social structures, and cultural changes in the modern world.
His ideas on liquid modernity, which describe the fluid nature of contemporary life, have been particularly influential in academic and public discourse.
