Los Retos de la Educacion En La Modernidad Liquida - by Zygmunt Bauman (Paperback)

About the Book

Few works have so brilliantly described the fragility of the individual in the consumer society of the 21st century as this text by Zygmunt Bauman. In a world marked by acceleration, obsolescence, and identity constructed by market offerings, education no longer forms individuals, but consumers of disposable knowledge. With a critical and visionary perspective, Bauman analyzes how this logic has eroded connections, depriving knowledge of meaning and turning learning into a tool for adaptation, not transformation. In the face of this, he advocates an education that not only transmits information, but also cultivates experience, thought, and civic awareness. This essay, as brief as it is profound, is an urgent invitation to resist the dominant liquidity and to recover education as an ethical and political act, capable of sustaining what is common, what is lasting, and what is truly human.
