An introductory guide to the complexities of humanism, this text tackles: origins and definitions; the emergence of "Man" in 15th-century writing and later philosophies; a critique of the religion of humanity; religious, sexual and political themes of modern life and thought; and a critical debate between humanism, modernism and antihumanism.
Definitions of humanism as educational movement, philosophical concept or existential `life stance’ have evolved over the centuries as the term has been adopted for a variety of cultural and political purposes and contexts, and reactions against humanism have contributed to movements such as structuralism, postmodernism and postcolonialism.
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 wide-ranging history of the development of the term and its influences
the implications of debates around humanism and post-humanism for political, religious and environmental activism
discussion of the key figures in humanist debate from Erasmus and Milton to Heidegger, Foucault and Chomsky
