Hartmut Rosa's resonance theory is currently one of the most discussed proposals for rethinking social science and social criticism. In this volume, thinkers from various disciplines examine it and apply it: to democracy and education, to our dealings with nature and to the acceleration of crisis development. Urgent problems can be analysed in a new light with this theory of world relations. However, what the theory itself says about world relations still applies: there remains a moment of unavailability. With texts by Maeve Cooke, Silke van Dyk, Axel Honneth, Stephan Lessenich, Martin Mulsow, Martin Saar and Charles Taylor, among others.
