time has been published for modern people buried in endless anxiety. \u003cbr\u003eThis is 『The Origins of Anxiety』 by Zygmunt Bauman, who is considered the 'philosopher of the square' and 'the greatest intellectual of the 20th century', and has been at the forefront of solving various social problems facing modern society.\u003cbr\u003e Published to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Bauman's birth, this book is part of his representative series, \"Liquid Modernity.\" It analyzes the anxiety and fear that individuals experience in the present age, where uncertainty is heightened by the disintegration of existing institutions, customs, and morals that were once fixed as solids, from a philosophical and social scientific perspective.\u003cbr\u003e Even though we live in the safest era in history, we still feel a vague fear that something terrible will happen to us in an unexpected accident.\u003cbr\u003e Sensitive and sharply aware of the danger that ripples like liquid anytime, anywhere, they move forward helplessly to maintain their lives even in the midst of tension. \u003cbr\u003eIn this ‘chronic anxiety society,’ Bauman reveals the complex causal relationship between individual fears and the ruling system, and criticizes a society that easily blames anxiety on individuals.\u003cbr\u003e As author Gyul-wool Kim of YouTube's 'Gyul Bookstore' strongly recommended, this book \"points out the true nature of the deep-rooted fear that continues without us knowing\" and helps us face the true nature of anxiety, and as Professor Ho-gi Kim highly praises, in the process, it leads us to \"discover a gap of hope in an age of fear.\"\u003cbr\u003e A modern classic that must be read in our

disaster could strike us all blindly, indiscriminately, and randomly, without any pattern or reason, leaving us all unprepared and defenseless.\u003cbr\u003e But other fears are just as terrifying. \u003cbr\u003eFear that I might be alone in a crowd of happy people, or at most one of a few chosen ones, and suffer alone while others continue to enjoy themselves noisily; fear that disaster might befall me as an individual; fear that I might become a target and meet an unfortunate end; fear that I might fall out of the speeding vehicle or be thrown overboard while the other passengers are fastening their seat belts and enjoying their journey as much as ever; fear of being left behind; fear of being excluded…\u003cbr\u003e These fears are not just figments of the imagination.\u003cbr\u003e In modern society, situations that cannot be seen or touched in reality become vividly real through the media that boasts authority.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe fears that plague many people can be strikingly similar when examined in individual cases, yet fighting them is considered a personal matter.\u003cbr\u003e We each fight using our own resources, but most of us lack those resources.\u003cbr\u003e Even if we pool our resources and offer those suffering from fear an equal opportunity to escape their fear safely, it is often unclear whether immediate protection is possible.\u003cbr\u003e Even if the argument for facing fear together becomes compelling, the question remains: how do we bring together those who fight alone and keep them together?\u003cbr\u003e --- From \"Introduction: How Fear Moves Us\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Again, in our fluid modern society, all victories are temporary.\u003cbr\u003e The stability that victory provides disappears the moment the existing balance of power shifts. \u003cbr\u003eAnd that balance of power, like all balances, is short-lived.\u003cbr\u003e It's like a photo that captures a moving object in an instant.\u003cbr\u003e The danger may be buried underground, but it is not and cannot be completely eradicated.\u003cbr\u003e And we must check the changing balance of power every day, the balance of power that is the only foundation on which fickle stability can stand, so that we can detect even the slightest signs of change in a timely manner, and even better, if we can prevent them.\u003cbr\u003e In the fluid battlefield of modern society, small-scale conflicts constantly occur as we scout for updates on our list of threats and opportunities.\u003cbr\u003e If you let your guard down even for a moment, you could be excluded.\u003cbr\u003e Because the specter of exclusion, the specter of metaphorical death, haunts the battlefield.\u003cbr\u003e --- 「1.\u003cbr\u003e From \"Death, an Irresistible Fate\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A crisis of trust in human relationships is bad news. \u003cbr\u003e'Human relations' has become a border zone where reconnaissance and small skirmishes occur endlessly, rather than a well-protected and secluded space where we can finally shed the heavy armor and rigid masks we have been forced to wear in a harsh, competitive world.\u003cbr\u003e In situations where trust has disappeared or trust is only reluctantly maintained, a ceasefire yesterday does not guarantee peace tomorrow.\u003cbr\u003e In a situation where the norms that regulate our obligations and responsibilities are thrown into a crucible and mixed together, making it impossible for things to remain stable, the equations we struggle to unravel every day have few constants.\u003cbr\u003e Calculating in this situation is like solving a puzzle with only a few vague and unreliable clues scattered around.\u003cbr\u003e Most human relationships no longer provide assurance, peace, or mental comfort, but rather amplify anxiety. \u003cbr\u003eInstead of giving you the rest you so desperately want, it gives you a life of constant anxiety and vigilance.\u003cbr\u003e Danger signals flash incessantly and alarms sound incessantly.\u003cbr\u003e --- 「2.\u003cbr\u003e From \"The Increasingly Blurry Lines of Evil\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Modern civilization is prone to disasters, and their recurrence leaves both those struggling to solve existing problems and those trying to address future ones bewildered.\u003cbr\u003e Then, when disaster strikes, we respond like locking the barn door after the horse has bolted, but in most cases, the horse runs too far away to be caught.\u003cbr\u003e And because of the tireless pursuit of modernization, the number of barns that need to be repaired multiplies.\u003cbr\u003e --- 「3.\u003cbr\u003e \"The Desire to Control the Uncontrollable\" pp. 172-173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even if we stop people at the border, the possibility of another terrorist attack will not be completely eliminated. \u003cbr\u003eDiscontents arising from around the world can spread as easily as financial crises or the latest music or fashion trends.\u003cbr\u003e And the impulse to take revenge on the real culprit, the suspect, or the most suitable and easily accessible scapegoat (if the culprit is unreachable) spreads just as easily.\u003cbr\u003e Wherever such discontent and vengeance settle, it quickly takes root and becomes a local, rather than a global, problem.\u003cbr\u003e And the frustration that comes from the global inability to find solutions is being felt locally.\u003cbr\u003e --- 「4.\u003cbr\u003e From “Globalization Takes Away Personal Safety”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The question of the state's political legitimacy has come into public debate again as a result of the decline of the function that served as the most important basis for the state's claim to legitimacy for most of the 20th century. \u003cbr\u003eUntil recently, it seemed possible to reach a consensus on the rights and responsibilities of citizens (\"constitutional patriotism,\" to borrow a term from the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas) because there was a guarantee that they would be protected from the uncertainties of the market economy. But at present, such a consensus is impossible to achieve.\u003cbr\u003e Market economies are notorious for making everyone, regardless of social status, feel insecure and for threatening everyone's social reputation and right to personal dignity.\u003cbr\u003e In this situation, there is an urgent need to find an alternative that can justify the authority of the state and provide benefits to citizens when they fulfill their duties.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- 「5.\u003cbr\u003e From “Fear Spreading Like Liquid”\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \",\"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"Unfounded fears are running rampant in modern society.\"\u003cbr\u003e Zygmunt Bauman, the greatest intellectual of the 20th century\u003cbr\u003e The final installment of the 'Liquid Modernity' series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTo commemorate the 100th anniversary of Zygmunt Bauman's birth, his masterpiece, \"The Origins of Anxiety,\" a volume in the \"Liquid Modernity\" series, has been published.\u003cbr\u003e Bauman, considered 'Europe's most controversial philosopher', is a sociologist and philosopher who was expelled from Poland because he was Jewish and then immigrated to England. He has been actively speaking out on various issues facing modern society and has been at the forefront of social movements.\u003cbr\u003e He established himself as the 'greatest intellectual of the 20th century' by interpreting modern society with the unique concept of 'liquid'.\u003cbr\u003e 'Liquid modernity' refers to an era in which existing systems, customs, and morals that were fixed like solids are disintegrating and uncertainty is increasing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bauman, also known as the \"philosopher of the square,\" has spent his entire life actively speaking out about the evils of capitalism and the crisis of democracy occurring around the world, offering hope and practical perspectives. \u003cbr\u003eIn Korea, during the 2015 chimney strike by laid-off Ssangyong Motors workers, a message of support was sent to them, holding a piece of paper with the words \"Cheer up!
