Biography
Byung-Chul Han, born in 1959, is a South Korean-born German philosopher, Catholic theologian and cultural theorist. His work focuses largely on critiques of neoliberalism, examining its effects on society and the individual. These concerns place social criticism at the center of his philosophical and cultural work.
Han was a professor at the Berlin University of the Arts and continues to teach courses there occasionally. He writes his books in German, although they have received their strongest reception in the Spanish-speaking world. His work thus reaches readers beyond the language in which he writes.
