In 'The Burnout Society,' Byung-Chul Han analyzes how Western societies have evolved from disciplinary societies to performance societies, where self-exploitation and constant self-demand lead to fatigue, boredom, and various psychiatric syndromes. The author examines the psychological and cultural consequences of this transformation, highlighting the renunciation of festive spirit and the pure celebration of life. This special edition commemorates Han's philosophical trajectory and his prophetic vision of the challenges of contemporary society.
