The author postulates the need to recover concrete humanism, which requires to look at it in a critical way and to recognize it’s splitting that turns it into an abstract humanism that drifts towards violence. If we don’t notice this, points the author, in each renaissance of humanism the circuit of splitting begins again with its corresponding ideological justification, which describes dehumanization as an action at the service of humanization.
