Abstract

Based on the intellectual works of the German sociologist Hartmut Rosa, this paper seeks to expose the general problem of social acceleration along with its links to modernity, as well as to identify the diagnoses of the experience of time in late modernity and the “pathologies of acceleration”. The purpose of this article is to analyze the characteristics social consequences of highly technological societies, the transformations on the modes of existence, which lead to the question of the distress generated by the subjective scarcity of temporal resources, by the vertiginously accelerated pace of social and technological processes and by the imperative of acceleration in the current time, focusing on the psychopathological structure of alienation according to Rosa's sociological-philosophical reflection.
