Questions to Claude Lévi-Strauss’ anti-humanism - 2018.
35
Claude Lévi-Strauss has repeatedly criticized the humanist ethics of the Renaissance, which he accuses of being at the origin of the Nazi camps. This strange theory is based on the idea that humanism has given a fallacious definition of man, which would have led to the separation of man from nature, and consequently to the separation of certain men from other men. Here we try to analyse the presuppositions of this thesis and to indicate possible paths for contesting it.
