✦ Synopsis
Humanistic thought has been oppressed by the dominant forces of contemporary mental health culture. The author argues that the rebellious essence of humanism must be incited to counter these reductive ideologies that have monopolized our times. A critical appraisal of the philosophical dualisms that support the prevailing mechanistic vision of human nature is elaborated, and the implications of this critique for a renewed humanistic rebellion are discussed.
