    Resonance

    A Sociology of Our Relationship to the World

    by Hartmut Rosa ...
    Narrated by James Gillies ...

    Unabridged

    27 hours 13 min

    The pace of modern life is undoubtedly speeding up, yet this acceleration does not seem to have made us any happier or more content.

The quality of a human life cannot be measured simply in terms of resources, options, and moments of happiness; instead, we must consider our ... Read more

  • The Uncontrollability of the World

    by Hartmut Rosa ...
    Translated by James C. Wagner ...
    The driving cultural force of that form of life we call ‘modern’ is the desire to make the world controllable. Yet it is only in encountering the uncontrollable that we really experience the world – only then do we feel touched, moved and alive. A world that is fully known, in which everything has been planned and mastered, would be a dead world.Our lives are played out on the border between what ... Read more

  • Democracy Needs Religion

    by Hartmut Rosa ...
    Translated by Valentine A. Pakis ...
    What role does religion play in modern societies? Is it merely an anachronism that hinders our economic growth?

It is no secret that the Christian churches in Western societies have massive problems – quite apart from the recent scandals. Shrinking congregations are just one ... Read more

    by Hartmut Rosa, Stephan Lessenich, Klaus Dörre ...
    Translated by Jan-Peter Herrmann, Loren Balhorn ...
    Three radical perspectives on the critique of capitalismFor years, the critique of capitalism was lost from public discourse; the very word “capitalism” sounded like a throwback to another era.

    New Perspectives

    Edited by Hartmut Rosa, Christoph Henning ...
