Resonance
A Sociology of Our Relationship to the World
Book • 2021
In this book, Hartmut Rosa argues that the acceleration of modern life has not led to greater happiness or contentment.
Instead, he proposes that the quality of human life should be measured by our 'resonance' with the world.
Rosa applies his theory of resonance across various domains of human activity, including family, politics, work, sports, religion, and art.
He contends that modern society's crises, such as environmental, democratic, and psychological crises, can be understood through the lens of resonance and our distorted relationship to the world.
The book emphasizes the importance of forming meaningful, unpredictable, and uncontrollable connections with the world, highlighting the concept of alterity and the need to embrace the world's mystery and elusiveness.
