description In his reflection upon the crisis of humanism, the Slovenian literary theorist and philosopher Dušan Pirjevec proceeds from the critique of the humanistic orientation as represented by poststructuralist philosophers in the 1960s, but treats the problem of the “end of humanism” in a much more complex light of nihilism of the epoch of the world. At the same time, direct existential experience from the Second World War as well as with the totalitarian ideologies that marked the 20th century was of crucial importance for his understanding of the problem of humanism. Pirjevec developed his key philosophical insights mainly in his studies on the European novel ranging from Cervantes to Robbe-Grillet, following the basic existential orientation that it is necessary, before any (revolutionary) attempt to assert the ideas of “new humanity,” to recognize the human ethos.

En su reflexión acerca de la crisis del humanismo, el teórico literario y filósofo esloveno Dušan Pirjevec parte de la critica a la orientación humanista representada por los filósofos postestructuralistas de la década de 1960, pero aborda el problema del “fin del humanismo” de una manera mucho más compleja a la luz del nihilismo de la época del mundo. La experiencia existencial directa de la segunda guerra mundial, así como de las ideologías totalitarias que marcaron el siglo XX, fue de crucial importancia en su comprensión del problema del humanismo. Pirjevec desarrolló sus intuiciones filosóficas clave principalmente en sus estudios acerca de la novela europea desde Cervantes hasta Robbe-Grillet, siguiendo la orientación existencial que es necesaria para reconocer el ethos humano, antes de cualquier intento (revolucionario) de afirmar las ideas de la “nueva humanidad”    Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2020-07-21 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/cuestiones_filosofia/article/view/11212 10.19053/01235095.v6.n26.2020.11212 Cuestiones de Filosofía; Vol. 6 No. 26 (2020): Cuestiones de Filosofía; 53-74 Cuestiones de Filosofía; Vol. 6 Núm. 26 (2020): Cuestiones de Filosofía; 53-74 2389-9441 0123-5095 spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/cuestiones_filosofia/article/view/11212/9608 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/cuestiones_filosofia/article/view/11212/13328 Derechos de autor 2020 Dean Komel http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0
