Humanism and Democratic Criticism

Edward W. Said Humanism and Democratic Criticism

Said talks about "the greatest book of general humanist activity since World War II, Auerbach's Mimesis, and why it serves as a lasting example for us today."

Traditional humanistic education has been under attack for many years. In his latest book, Said argues that a more democratic humanism that aims to unite, liberate and enlighten is still possible. Proposing a dialogue developed as a strategy for revitalizing the humanities, Said argues that reading teaches people to constantly question, disrupt and rearrange.

"Said is one of the leading thinkers of our age."

–The New York Observer

"Edward Said is one of the most distinguished cultural critics writing in America." –Cornel West

"Said is an excellent and unique example as a scientist, aesthetician and political activist. He challenges and stimulates our thinking in every field."

–Washington Post Book World

"Edward Said helps us understand who we are and what we must do if we do not want to be servants of power."

–Noam Chomsky
