Byung-Chul Han

    January 1, 1959

    Byung-Chul Han is a contemporary thinker who delves into the crucial issues of our time. His work critically examines how modern society, driven by neoliberal forces, cultivates norms of transparency and constant disclosure. Han reflects deeply on the consequences of this "society of tiredness" and "society of transparency," where values like shame and privacy diminish. His essays offer a piercing look into how digitalization and capitalism shape our subjectivity and interpersonal relationships.
