What is the role of education in a world where we no longer have a clear vision of the future and where the idea of a single, universal model of humanity seems like the residue of a bygone age? What role should educators play in a world where young people find themselves faced with deep uncertainty about their future, where the prospects of securing a stable, long-term career seem increasingly remote and where intensified population movements have created more diverse communities in which different cultures find themselves living side by side, no longer bound together by the belief that the other would eventually be assimilated into ‘our' culture?
Faced with the bewildering features of our liquid modern world, many young people are inclined to withdraw - in some cases into the online world of games and virtual relationships, in other cases into anorexia, depression, alcohol or even drug abuse, hoping to find shelter from a world perceived as more and more dangerous. Others launch into more violent forms of behaviour, like street gangs and the looting carried out by young people who have been excluded from the temples of consumption but are eager to participate in the ceremony. And all this happens while our politicians look on, uncomprehending and indifferent.
In this short book Zygmunt Bauman - the leading social theorist of our liquid modern world, here in conversation with Riccardo Mazzeo - reflects on the predicament of young people today and on the role of education and the educator in a world where the certainties of our predecessors can no longer be taken for granted.

Review
"Bauman's knack for placing things in context and accounting for that uneasy feeling you get from this or that current development makes [On Education] stimulating."
Inside Higher Ed
"When graduates can't find jobs, the bargain of commercialised education – take out enormous student loans that will be repaid by your supposedly high salary later on – breaks down. So worries the sociologist Bauman, in a perky and colourful written interview with the Italian publisher Mazzeo. Even so, Bauman remains hopeful about the 'openness' of mind ideally encouraged by schooling – indeed, as he points out sharply, it is not 'practical' otherwise."
Steven Poole, The Guardian

important considerations for anyone involved in education from teachers and administrators and professors to parents and kids
By Love Thy Enemy
As US education goes the wrong way towards merit pay and more testing, we must consider this philosophical treatise on education. Why school? Find out here and realize to our horror how far the Republican politicians bring us the wrong way again even here, hating our teachers and our students and looking to turn a temporary profit.

Extraordinary insights from one of the greatest thinkers of our time
By Malvin
"On Education" is a fascinating discussion by the Italian editor, Ricardo Mazzeo with Zygmunt Bauman, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Leeds. Professor Bauman is the famed octogenarian theorist of the 'liquid modern' (postmodern) era whose influential writings have inspired many within the anti-globalization movement. In this accessible book, Mr. Mazzeo and Professor Bauman discuss the struggles of youth, education and neoliberalism with extraordinary clarity, insight and perspective.
Mr. Mazzeo challenges Professor Bauman with twenty issues including life-long education, immigration, consumerism, culture, austerity, financial meltdown, the London riots of 2011, the Arab Spring, the Internet, and more. The articles consist of thoughtful written (not verbal) exchanges that range from a few pages to as many as 15 pages each. Professor Bauman's extraordinary life experiences and decades of study allow him to reflect on our current predicament as only he can.
Full of wisdom and hope, Mr. Mazzeo and Professor Bauman's brief but engaging book is highly recommended to everyone who wants to better understand our liquid modern world.

Between Mixophilia and Mixophobia
By Robin Friedman
Zygmunt Bauman (b. 1925) has enjoyed a long academic and writing career in his native Poland, Israel, and Leeds. He was forced out of Poland in 1968 as a result of Anti-semitism. He contined his prolific writing in English, his third language. Bauman began his career and remains heavily influenced by Marxism. He has become best-known for his critique of postmodernism and for his use of the metaphors of "liquid" and "liquidity" or "software" as opposed to "hardware" to describe the modern world. His books have titles such as "Liquid Modernity", "Liquid Life", "Liquid Love", "Liquid Fear", "Liquid Times". Bauman is currently Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Leeds. I have not read Bauman before but became interested in this book because it claimed to discuss the changing role of education in the modern world.
"On Education" is a series of twenty short exchanges of views between Bauman and Riccardo Mazzeo, an editor at the Italian publisher Edizioni Erickson. I had no prior knowledge about Mazzeo. In each of the chapters, Mazzeo begins the discussion by identifying the subject matter and by making a brief statement. Bauman follows with a longer statement in which he comments on Mazzeo and expands upon his own views. Part of the problem with this approach is that in context it is static. There are no real differences of opinion between Mazzeo and Bauman that could create an exchange. Bauman generally simply reinforce and elaborates the position taken by his interlocutor.
Another issue with the book is its scope. Many of twenty chapters do discuss education and its role at the primary, secondary and college levels, and a great deal of the discussion is thoughtful. But the book is much more sweeping. It begins with an exchange called "Between Mixophilia and Mixophobia" which discusses attitudes towards immigration once an assimilationist model is discarded. Mixophobics fear involvement with foreigners while mixophiliacs find joy in an atmosphere consisting of many diverse elements. Bauman and Mazzeo want to change the contours of the dichotomy. Part of their discussion involves the recognition of difference among groups within the school system. The discussion focuses on Europe but it would apply as well to the United States.
Besides the emphasis of multiculturalism, the book emphasizes economics and change. Several chapters discuss the financial meltdown and near-depression while several chapters discuss as well the increasing disparity in income between rich and poor people and the hardening of class lines. There are chapters about people taking to the streets as part of the "Arab Spring" and as part of London riots in the summer of 2011. Bauman and Mazzeo discuss religion, monotheism and the need for transcendence even though neither of them is creedally religious. They have important things to say about family and community. But overall, the topic pervading the book is consumerism -- people defining themselves by quick fixes and by pleasure and by increasing consumption.
Bauman displays formidable erudition. It is a pleasure to read his thoughts on a varied group of writers and intellectuals including Jose Saramongo, Gregory Bateson, George Steiner, Hans Gadamer,Martha Nussbaum, Amin Maalouf, Richard Sennett, and many others, including current European writers with whom I am unfamiliar.
The scope of the volume is far too broad and the discussion too free-wheeling and too ideological to be persuasive. With each chapter receiving only a few pages, the treatment can only be cursory. Bauman displays great knowledge and frequent insight, as when he laments the passing of family closeness, a spirit of community, and sexual restraint. The tone however tends more often to be dogmatic and premptory and the writing purple and polemical. The book seems to reach preordained conclusions, and it fails to grapple with specifics and with alternative ways of understanding problems. The overall conclusion, that change may come from directions and sources that cannot immediately be forseen is surprisingly modest.
The bluster and dogmatism of this book left me troubled and unconvinced, although I did learn from some of the details. This book might not be the best introduction to Bauman. Possibly Bauman might be better approached through one of his longer works, in his own voice. He might benefit from having the opportunity to present his views in depth rather than in the sketchy conclusory manner of this book. Overall, I found this book disappointing.
