Features: Based on the study of European intellectual history, British philosopher Soper provides an in-depth elaboration and analysis of the origins of anti-humanism in European philosophy and the European philosophical tradition. From the critique of Hegel and Feuerbach's philosophy, the various intellectual approaches emerging from phenomenology, Marxism, and existentialism, as well as the opposition between philosophical anti-humanism and humanism in the European cultural tradition, Soper thoroughly reveals the dilemmas of humanism in modern social life. This book is rich in content, lucid in style, and one of the most important works on European humanism in the 20th century.
