Barbarism by Michel Henry
Essays on a Philosophy of Culture
This philosophical work delves into the concept of "barbarism" as a pervasive threat to culture and human existence, exploring how modern technological advancements and scientific rationalism have led to a devaluation of subjective experience and inner life. It argues that this shift towards objectivity and external validation undermines the essence of humanity, which is rooted in the lived experiences and emotions of individuals. The text calls for a return to a more authentic understanding of human life, emphasizing the importance of personal experience and the inner world as the foundation of true culture and civilization.
