Liquid Life

This book is written for people who constantly have to rush from place to place at great speed to stay safe on the ice. It is a work that people who are looking for permanent meanings in a life that is becoming more fluid and where there is nothing solid and static left, will keep at their bedside. It is full of suggestions and comments that will help those who feel helpless in the face of global problems such as wars, mass migrations, and environmental destruction, which every person in the world feels, to understand this life. Most importantly, it is an initiative that reconsiders the possibility of transforming the world into a more livable place for humanity...

In this work, Bauman calls us to take a global responsibility instead of wasting time finding local solutions to the planet's problems. He says that these problems can be overcome with the interaction network that people create on a global scale. Stating that the public sphere should be transformed into a ground for dialogue where discussions, confrontations and compromises continue, Bauman states that a public sphere established under the domination of nation-states cannot provide solutions to global problems. According to him, the fluid society we live in can only establish lasting peace and serenity on a ground where everyone takes responsibility for each other, cares for each other, and offers political solutions to each other's problems. The first step to this is realizing that we no longer have a shelter unique to us where we can be protected from storms. With this work, Bauman offers his readers the tools to make sense of the helplessness they sense, doubt, and feel in their bones at every moment, and to take precautions against it...
