Humanism and Violence by Stefan Silber

The ideology of the invisible hand of the market transforms all barbarism that is committed into human service.. The modern age is a doubled humanism..State terrorism presents itself as humanist realism, as the only true way of protecting life.

When humanism is invoked today, the doubling of humanism must be addressed. When another world is possible is emphasized, the humane has to be promoted and regained while we simultaneously criticize humanism. Concretizing another world is not a technical problem although many technical problems must be solved. It is a problem of regaining humanism.

We face a world of dehumanization. But the dehumanization pretends to be a human service.
