Zygmunt Bauman was the Polish sociologist who looked at the modern world and said: ‘This is too liquid — nothing stays in place for long, not love, not jobs, not certainties.’ Born in 1925, he fled Nazism with his family, fought in World War II, was expelled from Poland during the communist regime, and eventually found intellectual refuge in the United Kingdom, where he became a professor at the University of Leeds.

Bauman became famous for his theory of ‘liquid modernity,’ a concept that explains why everything today seems so fast, fragile, and disposable — from relationships to identities. He wrote dozens of books, always with a critical and poetic eye on contemporary malaise. He died in 2017, leaving behind a legacy that still helps us navigate — or at least float — in this high tide of uncertainty called modern life.
