Modern Toplumda Aile Neden Çöküyor? İnsanlar Neden Yalnız Hissediyor? | Enis Doko ile Frekans | 55

In this episode of Frekans, Prof. Dr. Enis Doko takes an in-depth look at how the family in modern society has evolved from a refuge into a heavy burden. Although the perception that marriage today is merely an economic contract or a living arrangement has become somewhat widespread, philosophical and sociological insights reveal that the family remains the sole existential refuge where one is loved unconditionally simply for being who one is, rather than for one’s qualities. Placing individualism and career above all else is not a universal rule applicable to human nature; in traditional teachings, the family is viewed as a center where the ego is dissolved and self-sacrifice for others is learned. In the modern world, however, the habit of viewing life, marriage, and children as a “project” to be perfected creates an exhausting and consuming sociological pressure that drives people to constantly seek something better. Additionally, this section examines Zygmunt Bauman’s concept of “liquid modernity” (the liquid family), which explains the rapid consumption of relationships; Charles Taylor’s thesis on “narcissistic hyper-individualism”; and Byung-Chul Han’s diagnosis of the “burnout society.” By highlighting the foundational social roles attributed to the family by historical giants such as Aristotle, Confucius, and Hannah Arendt, the myth that “pet ownership can fully replace child-rearing and the building of society’s future” is thoroughly debunked with compelling arguments. 00:00 Introduction 00:32 Why Has the Family Become a Burden Rather Than a Refuge? 01:12 What Are Liquid Modernism and the “Liquid Family”? 03:55 How Does Narcissistic Hyper-Individualism Harm Marriage? 06:24 The Burnout Society and Viewing the Child as a Project 09:25 What Is the True Function of the Family in Traditional Thought? 16:56 Can Caring for a Pet Replace Having Children? 21:05 Why Do People Need an Existential Refuge? 24:54 How Does the Family Bring a Person Closer to God?
