Today, the human species is collectively confronting a complex existential crisis comprised of a number of diverse elements: political, economic, religious, technological, and environmental. The globalization of information and commerce has revealed to us the universality and interrelatedness of all of these factors. A Treatise of Humanism is an attempt to address the human crisis through an examination of ourselves: our past, our possibilities for a future, our common rational capacity (which should give us hope), and our common human nature. As a philosophy of humanism, this book shares many ideas with existentialism, and it may in fact be viewed as a work of American existentialism, focused on our common human condition and on what we may need to do to continue to survive and to thrive together, not only as a species of life unified through reason but as an interrelated collectivity of unique human individuals.

Available in English for the first time, "Imperfect Garden" is both an approachable intellectual history and a bracing treatise on how we should understand and experience our lives. In it, one of France's most prominent intellectuals explores the foundations, limits, and possibilities of humanist thinking. Through his critical but sympathetic excavation of humanism, Tzvetan Todorov seeks an answer to modernity's fundamental challenge: how to maintain our hard-won liberty without paying too dearly in social ties, common values, and a coherent and responsible sense of self. Todorov reads afresh the works of major humanists--primarily Montaigne, Rousseau, and Constant, but also Descartes, Montesquieu, and Toqueville. Each chapter considers humanism's approach to one major theme of human existence: liberty, social life, love, self, morality, and expression. Discussing humanism in dialogue with other systems, Todorov finds a response to the predicament of modernity that is far more instructive than any offered by conservatism, scientific determinism, existential individualism, or humanism's other contemporary competitors. Humanism suggests that we are members of an intelligent and sociable species who can act according to our will while connecting the well-being of other members with our own. It is through this understanding of free will, Todorov argues, that we can use humanism to rescue universality and reconcile human liberty with solidarity and personal integrity. Placing the history of ideas at the service of a quest for moral and political wisdom, Todorov's compelling and no doubt controversial rethinking of humanist ideas testifies to the enduring capacity of those ideas to meditate on--and, if we are fortunate, cultivate--the imperfect garden in which we live.

Excerpt from Studies in Humanism OF the essays which compose this volume about half have appeared in various periodicals - Mind, the Hibbert journal, the Quarterly Review, the Fortuzlg/ztly Review, and the journal of P/zilosop/zy - during the past three years, and I am indebted to their editors for the leave to republish. Additions have, however, grown so extensive that of the matter of the book not more than one-third, and that the less constructive part, can be said to have been in print before. That the form should still be discontinuous is due to the fact that the conditions under which I have had to work greatly hamper and delay the composition of a con tinuous treatise, and that it seemed imperative to deal more expeditiously with the chief strategic points of the philosophic situation. I hope, however, that the dis continuity of the form will not be found incompatible with an essential continuity of aim, argument, and interest. In all these respects the present Studies may most naturally be regarded as a continuation of Humanism and of my share in Personal Idealism, without, however, ceasing to be independently intelligible. They have had to reflect the developments of philosophy and the progress of discussion, and this has rendered them, I fear, slightly more technical on the whole than Humanism.

“What a hundred caring, courageous and conscientious women can achieve in ten years, would take a thousand men a hundred years.” One of twenty-first century’s most influential thinkers Abhijit Naskar makes an exuberant attempt with his sharp insight of the molecular realm of the mind, to unite all of humanity with the thread of humane oneness, beyond the primeval evil of gender discrimination. This is a treatise of humanism, in the line of his two other works “Principia Humanitas” and “We Are All Black”, that reinforces the vision of gender mutuality in the psyche of thinking humanity. “The Bengal Tigress” is an empowering wake up call to all the women in the world and an eye-opener for all the men. Here Naskar enables us to delve deep into the neural realm of the female mind as well as the male, to recognize their distinct mental faculties. He reveals to us in his unique philosophical manner, how the women can take the human society forward towards a genuine harmonious future. The Bengal Tigress also warns us about the imminent harms of the term “Feminism” and makes “Humanism” triumph over all prejudices. We emerge from this spell-binding odyssey of science and philosophy with one sole conviction, that we are human first, then everything else.

The gradual secularization of European society and culture is often said to characterize the development of the modern world, and the early Italian humanists played a pioneering role in this process. Here Benjamin G. Kohl and Ronald G. Witt, with Elizabeth B. Welles, have edited and translated seven primary texts that shed important light on the subject of "civic humanism" in the Renaissance.Included is a treatise of Francesco Petrarca on government, two representative letters from Coluccio Salutati, Leonardo Bruni's panegyric to Florence, Francesco Barbaro's letter on "wifely" duty, Poggio Bracciolini's dialogue on avarice, and Angelo Poliziano's vivid history of the Pazzi conspiracy. Each translation is prefaced by an essay on the author and a short bibliography. The substantial introductory essay offers a concise, balanced summary of the historiographcal issues connected with the period.
