Life in Fragments: Essays in Postmodern Morality

Life in Fragments is a continuation of the themes and motifs explored in Zygmunt Bauman′s acclaimed study, Postmodern Ethics (Blackwell, 1993). Described by Richard Sennett as a major event in social theory, Postmodern Ethics subverted the pieties of subversion which rule the postmodern imagination, arguing for an ethic of being with the Other, beyond the fashionable imperative of anything goes or the deconstruction of identity through difference.
