In this class we will explore the fate of Humanism in the 20th century thought. I will open with an account of modern Humanism and explain the relevance of asking after its fate in the thought of some of the great 20th century thinkers. We will read Freud’s Future of an Illusion, Sartre’s Existentialism is a Humanism and Foucault’s Discipline and Punish by way deepening our understanding of 20th century thought on Humanism.
