Zygmunt Bauman
“A society notorious for effacing the boundary which once separated the private from the public, for making it a public virtue and obligation to publicly expose the private, and for wiping away from public communication anything that resists being reduced to private confidences, together with those who refuse to confide them.”
Zygmunt Bauman, Consuming Life

“While any software system introduces some kind of formalization of the world, HCI (like AI) deals with formalizations of human cognition and activity. These are the issues that have lay at the heart of philosophical debate for centuries. In some ways, it would be hard to imagine a more philosophical enterprise.”
Paul Dourish

Zygmunt Bauman
“Real dialogue isn’t about talking to people who believe the same things as you.”
Zygmunt Bauman

Zygmunt Bauman
“If political rights are necessary to set social rights in place, social rights are indispensable to make political rights 'real' and keep them in operation. The two rights need each other for their survival; that survival can only be their joint achievement.”
Zygmunt Bauman, Collateral Damage: Social Inequalities in a Global Age

Zygmunt Bauman
“Desire and love act at cross purposes. love is a net cast on eternity, desire is a stratagem to be spared the chores of net weaving.

True to their nature, love would strive to perpetuate the desire. Desire, on the other hand, would shun love's shackles.”
Zygmunt Bauman, Liquid Love: On the Frailty of Human Bonds
