Unverfügbarkeit

In 'Unverfügbarkeit', Hartmut Rosa critiques modernity's relentless pursuit of making the world controllable, predictable, and available.

He argues that this drive for control leads to a 'verstummte' (muted) world where genuine dialogue is lost.

Rosa proposes 'Resonanz' (resonance) as a counterconcept, emphasizing the importance of engaging with the unpredictable and uncontrollable aspects of the world.

This resonance occurs when we open ourselves to the unfamiliar and the irritating, leading to unpredictable outcomes that cannot be planned or predicted.
