From the Renaissance until the 1960s, the humanities, derived from the expression ‘studia humanitatis’ or the study of humanity, made it their purpose to make sense of and understand the world through the great traditions of art, culture and philosophy. There appeared in the 1970s and 1980s however, a range of ‘new humanities’ subjects which rejected this tradition. The new humanities were underpinned by a range of radical post-structuralism and post-modernist theories which had been conjured up in the previous decade by a predominantly French group of philosophers such as Jacques Derrida, Louis Althusser, Michel Foucault, as well as the psychiatrist, Jacques Lacan.

The new humanities maintain that for the last 500 years, Western Civilisation has got it wrong when it comes to knowledge, truth and science. These fields tend to claim that both knowledge and truth are not absolute, but are relative. For example, there is no objective truth and truth is dependent on who is speaking it and in what context.

Видимо у этих французких пост-модернистских философов сильно подгорало от того что зап.европа перестала быть центром мира, а стала по сути дальней провинцией США. И поскольку США построены на предыдущей схеме картины мира, то эта старая картина срочно перестала нравится европейцам.

Разумеется.

Левые интеллектуалы всегда нежно любили диктаторов, особенно левых. Вон недавно американские левые "светочи" рассказывали что и гулаг - это увеселительный лагерь и ничего плохого в этом нет.
