Humanism and antihumanism in lasch and sandel
Critical Review 13 (1-2):97-114 (1999)
| Abstract | Abstract Christopher Lasch's True and Only Heaven and Michael Sandel's Democracy's Discontent are similarly motivated criticisms of consumer society. However, Lasch identifies the ideals animating American consumer society as stemming from a broader humanist impulse, the roots of which he explores and criticizes. This strategy allows Lasch to place his critique of consumerism alongside criticisms of a full range of humanist ideals. Sandel, who articulates a more narrowly focused criticism of consumer society, never links its underlying imperatives to a broader humanism, thus failing to recognize how his alternative, civic republicanism, might share some of the same problems. | |||||||||
