The Homeless Mind

The Homeless Mind, a concept introduced by Zygmunt Bauman, describes how modern individuals often feel detached from stable identities and traditions due to rapid social and technological changes. This sense of being "homeless" reflects a lack of rootedness or certainty about oneself and the world, leading to feelings of insecurity and disconnection. As society becomes more flexible and unpredictable, people may struggle to find a consistent sense of belonging or purpose, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and ongoing self-reflection in navigating contemporary life.
