The book describes humanism in a systematic and historical
perspective. It analyzes its manifestation and function in cultural
studies and its role in the present. Within the book, special
attention is given to the intention of contemporary humanism to
overcome ethno-centric elements in the cultural orientation of
contemporary living conditions and to develop humane dimensions of
this orientation. This is linked to a fundamental critique of the
current post-human self-understanding of the humanities.
Furthermore, the intercultural aspect in the understanding of
humanism is emphasized; for non-Western cultures also have their
own humanistic traditions. Two further aspects are also addressed:
the Holocaust as the most radical challenge to humanistic thinking
and the relationship of humanism to nature. Sitting at the
intersection of history and philosophy, the book is perfect for
those exploring humanism from an historical perspective.
