Definitions of humanism have evolved throughout the centuries as
the term has been adopted for a variety of purposes - literary,
cultural and political - and reactions against humanism have
contributed to movements such as postmodernism and anti-humanism.
Tony Davies offers a clear introduction to the many uses of this
influential yet complex concept and this second edition extends his
discussion to include:
- a comprehensive history of the development of the term and its
influences
- theories of post-humanism, cybernetics and artificial
intelligence
- implications of concepts of humanism and post-humanism on
political and religious activism
- discussion of the key figures in humanist debate from Erasmus
and Milton to Chomsky, Heidegger and Foucault
- a new glossary and further reading section.
With clear explanations and poignant discussions, this volume is
essential reading for anyone approaching the study of humanism,
post-humanism or critical theory.
