https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l Nizan's letter responding to Benda contains a number of references to the lineage of theories in humanism and anti-humanism. These genealogies can be too complex for simple text; by placing them in a visual medium we can observe the links and shared contexts that Nizan describes. en-us 2020-12-15 22:25:43 UTC 2025-10-18 15:43:24 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/897794020/b17b8dd113648abb86ef9811f0867e4a/nizan.jpg jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022200182 2020-12-15 22:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022200182 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022206031 2020-12-15 22:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022206031 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022207584 2020-12-15 22:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022207584 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022208048 “It is quite clear that M. Benda has a Platonic idea of the western world and of Hellenism, which brings in its train the affirmation of rigorously intelligible values and notions, purged of all the values and concrete events of human life. It is quite true that this concept triumphed in Greece during a brief period, that it then served as a theoretical justification during entire eras of bourgeois thought. But Platonism is not all of Hellenism. I don’t find this separation in Protagoras, I don’t find it among the Stoics, I don’t find it in Epicurus, and not even among the Alexandrians.” (p. 2)]]> 2020-12-15 22:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022208048 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022208512 2020-12-15 22:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022208512 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022208760 “At all levels of history we will find the traces of a protest in favor of man in his totality, forever stifled, forever aborted because every protest in the name of man in his totality brings with it an accusation of the world as it is. We will find it in Rabelais, in Spinoza, in Diderot. It will flourish in Marx. It will cease to be stifled. Men will want the humanist mythology to become a train of events; they will take back all promises, but they will fulfill them.” (p. 3)]]> 2020-12-15 22:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022208760 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022209159 2020-12-15 22:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022209159 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022217066 Jess Harris-Braun]]> 2020-12-15 23:03:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022217066 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022218685 2020-12-15 23:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022218685 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022218916 2020-12-15 23:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022218916 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022219395 2020-12-15 23:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022219395 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022219593 2020-12-15 23:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022219593 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022221613 2020-12-15 23:05:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022221613 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022221855 2020-12-15 23:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022221855 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022222239 2020-12-15 23:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022222239 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022222479 2020-12-15 23:06:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022222479 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022222817 2020-12-15 23:06:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022222817 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022223180 2020-12-15 23:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022223180 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022223751 2020-12-15 23:07:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022223751 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022228138 2020-12-15 23:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022228138 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022228415 2020-12-15 23:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022228415 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022233372 2020-12-15 23:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022233372 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022243950 2020-12-15 23:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022243950 jh87941 https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022261391 2020-12-15 23:28:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jh87941/tqx67avobby7nz8l/wish/1022261391
