In seinem neuen Essay seziert Byung-Chul Han mit analytischer Schärfe und poetischer Tiefe den dramatischen Verfall einer zentralen sozialen Tugend: Respekt. Was einst das Fundament des Zusammenlebens war, droht heute in einer von Narzissmus, Wettbewerb und digitaler Enthemmung geprägten Gesellschaft zu verschwinden.

Weil führe, ja verführe uns zu einer anderen Wirklichkeit, die uns aus dem sinnentleerten Leben,...

South Korea provides an intellectual challenge in the fields of social movements and democracy in that intense mobilization and the strong influence of social movements have accompanied steady democratization for more than two decades, despite major theories having predicted otherwise.

This book examines how social movements in previously authoritarian contexts evolve after democratic transition, using South Korea as a case study. It explores how democratic change influences the form of social movements, and how social movements affect the pace and direction of democracy in...
