Humanism: the word evokes images of compassion, equality, and respect for human dignity. But is this philosophy truly universal? Can it embrace all human beings, with their differences and complexities? In this book, I dare to question the myth that humanism is a magical circle that encompasses everyone. Instrumental reason, as the foundation of humanism, is a powerful tool, but it is also exclusionary. By systematizing reality, it creates categories and norms that, in turn, marginalize those who do not fit within them. Fascists, criminals, and mentally ill individuals who pose a danger to ...
