He taught the Philosophie and the Sociologie at the university of Warsaw constrained to leave communist Poland in 1968 at the time of persecutions anti-semites. He joined the university of Leeds in 1973.

He describes the TV-reality like a metaphor of the total world, where " What is put in scene, it is the jetability, the interchangeability and the exclusion". The problems are total and the local policy, the bond between being able and Politique is loosened. It describes the company like liquid, because the permanent bonds between man and woman became impossible. More exactly it defines the social relations as increasingly impalpable in the current society. It takes the example of the love or the feeling like witness of the impalpability of the new relations. It defines as person in charge the current consumer society and the economic model.

The concept of Redondance of misery can to also be him allotted. In lost Lives , it defines it. This concept consists of the definition of zones of poverties targeted around the cities, and in the zones of recovery of consumable waste. It takes to illustrate this concept the metaphor of Italo Calvino of the city of the innovations and the mountains of recovery.
