Uncontrollability of the World
Book • 2020
In this book, Hartmut Rosa argues that modern society's relentless pursuit of control and predictability has led to a distorted relationship with the world.
Rosa posits that the most profound connections arise from embracing the unpredictable and uncontrollable nature of life, which he terms 'resonance'.
He examines how this concept affects various aspects of human life, including family, work, politics, and religion, highlighting the importance of acknowledging and preserving the inherent uncontrollability of the world.
