Join us in this thought-provoking video as Professor Paul Blaschko from the University of Notre Dame delves into the core ideas presented in philosopher Byung-Chul Han's influential book "The Burnout Society."
Professor Blaschko explores the concept of burnout from a philosophical standpoint, critically examining Han's claim of modern society's increased susceptibility to it. In his analysis, he highlights Han's characterization of our era as an "achievement society," reflecting on how our relentless pursuit of productivity and accomplishment often leads to psychological exhaustion and disengagement.
Taking it a step further, Blaschko draws connections between Han's arguments and the ancient philosophical debate about the superior way of life: one driven by action or one anchored in contemplation. This exploration helps us understand the role of contemplation in counteracting burnout, shedding light on Han's notion of "profound boredom" as a requisite for genuine contemplation.
