is not a typical sociologist. He is a philosopher of everyday life. His fabric of thought and language weaves together a diversity of strands: high theory; dreams and political visions; the anxiety and torments of that statistical unit of humanity, the little man or woman; astute criticism -sharp as a razor and merciless to boot -of the world's powerful; and a sociological analysis of their tiresome ideas, their vanity, their unbridled quest for attention and popularity, and their insensitivity and self-deception.Little wonder: Bauman's sociology is above all a sociology of the imagination, of feelings, of human relations -love, friendship, despair, indifference, insensitivity -and of intimate experience. Moving easily from one discourse to another has become a signal feature of his thinking.He is perhaps the world's only sociologist (and Bauman is one of that field's living greats, along with Anthony Giddens and Ulrich Beck) and one of the world's great thinkers simpliciter (along with Umberto Eco, Giorgio Agamben, Michel Serres, Jürgen Habermas) who not only actively uses the language of high theory but agilely jumps from this language to that of advertising, commercials, SMS messages, the mantras of motivation speakers and business gurus, clichés, and Facebook comments; then comes back again to the language (and themes) of social theory, modern literature, and classics of philosophy.
