{"product_id":"9788024653525","title":"Modernita a holocaust – Bauman Zygmunt (2023)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis sociological analysis examines the roots of the Holocaust, the murder of ten million Europeans in Nazi concentration camps, and considers ways of preventing future genocides. Zygmunt Bauman understands the Holocaust as a Jewish tragedy while emphasising its distinctive features, which set it apart from other genocides. He shows that it emerged and was carried out in a modern, rationalised and rationalistic society, at a high level of civilisational development and at the height of human cultural achievement. For this very reason, however, the Holocaust becomes a problem belonging to that society, civilisation and culture. It is understood not merely as a historical event, but as a turning point that reveals the nature of our civilisation, the degeneration of human rationality and the ends to which it was put. Bauman places the Holocaust within sociological analyses of racism while going beyond them by demonstrating its tragic dialectic of exceptionality and normality. Without moralising, he shows how Enlightenment rationalism came into direct conflict with morality in the mid-20th century and found no way out. First published in 1989, this work is regarded by the public, academics and Bauman himself as a landmark book. It established him as a world-renowned sociologist and an authority on the analysis of late modernity, received the 1990 Amalfi City Prize for the best European sociological work of the year, and has been translated into several dozen languages. The Czech edition includes a special preface written by Zygmunt Bauman.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nakladatelství Karolinum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54025181266267,"sku":"9788024653525","price":28.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1787\/2513\/files\/0571207.jpg?v=1789062631","url":"https:\/\/czechmovie.com\/products\/9788024653525","provider":"czechmovie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
