Really, how do you expect a philosophy that has been adopted and is used by the ruling class to be of any help to class struggle?If it had any revolutionary potential or posed some danger for them they wouldn't advertise it that much, would they?They would try and hinder it as they do with anti-capitalistic messages and morals.
For me, humanism played a big role in the progress of human society during the Enlightenment, during which also capitalism arose but today has nothing more to offer.
Anyway, I was recommended The Foucault Reader, a book that explains Foucault's basic ideas since he is considered the father of post modernism by much, which I'll hopefully get and read during the holidays.Who is this Agamben you speak of? (PS sorry for bombarding your visitor messages page with my weird opinions, I get carried away some times )

Nah post humanism is just referring to newer additions in humanist theory as far as I know.I really think I stand opposed to humanism.I believe that if you take it's line of thought and introduce it politically you can only end up in systems formed around technocracy, which I find dehumanizing.

Plus the fact that humanism is supposed to be a leading philosophical ideology in the present system ,from UNO and NATO claiming to defend human rights to it being taught at schools as the only correct moral code a person can have (with the exception of some American schools which stand to the same mindset that made them refuse theory of evolution ), while you rarely hear criticisms against the inherently oppressive nature of capitalism or hierarchy from humanists, with those few who do being cleverly left out proves exactly how irrelevant humanism is to the things it seemingly supports.

"There is discussion being had amongst the administration team."

Doesn't that just put your mind at ease?

I hardly ever see TAT making political posts cool hypocrisy
