Intimacy in Postmodern Times: A Friendship with Zygmunt Bauman

This book says farewell to Zygmunt Bauman by reflecting on the author’s thirty-year collaboration with him. Using his own archives and published work, Peter Beilharz establishes the nature of their friendship and the development of their respective intellectual projects on modernity, the postmodern and the present crisis.
