The aim of this text is to outline the vision of the humanist as seen by the sociologist Zygmunt Bauman. The article comprises three chapters and discusses issues representative of his oeuvre: (1) the problem of remaining faithful to beauty, including literature and art, (2) commitment to the humiliated, among them the poor and the discriminated, and (3) the moral duty of intellectuals to commit themselves to the good and to the transformation of the world. In the concluding part of the paper, the authors point to the most inspiring motifs in Bauman’s output which might be further developed by humanists in the future.
