Book Description:
This philosophic study discusses the formal aspects of stabilization and instability in philosophic culture from the Presocratics through the dialectics of the nineteenth century to our present day. Areas under discussion are architecture and philosophy(the mutation of the human),the contemporary destabilization of humanity and the impasse of philosophy, the vanishing universal in philosophic discussion,the internet, sport and the global manufacture of dehumanization and the crisis of culture in light of Arendt and Foucault. Let s conceive for a moment Redeker s achievement: the concept of dehumanization he also discusses the process of becoming dehumanized as meaning the scission through which the human leaves the man behind. Man stops ,the human continues :that is dehumanization. The human after man: that is the dehumanized . This powerful study should prove of great interest to philosophers, anthropologists, sociologists and political scientists...I also recommend for university libraries who pride themselves on being current in philosophic literature Dr.Philip Beitchman,NYU. Robert Redeker was recently appointed by President Nicholas Sarkosy to a lifetime position as a senior fellow(Philosophy) on the National Research for Higher Studies. Redeker was featured in the New York Times and the Washington Post last year. Please see below:
