Modernity, Postmodernity and Ethics — An Interview with Zygmunt Bauman

Born in 1925 in Poland, Zygmunt Bauman has taught sociology in countries such as Israel, the US, the UK and Canada. Today he is professor emeritus after 20 years of service at the University of Leeds. His production dates from the 1950s and deals, among other things, with questions such as class, socialism and hermeneutics. While these works stimulated considerable interest, they cannot be compared to the influence of Bauman's writing since the late 1980s, when he started to analyze modernity and postmodernity. In Legislators and Interpreters, Bauman analyzes the role of intellectuals in the modern state. He emphasizes that, given their elitist notion of culture, intellectuals were the architects of the modern citizenry.
