Higher Humanism cover

The ideal of higher humanism challenges our modern civilization and its diminished image of the human being. A critique of the ideologies of "bourgeois humanism" provides a pathway toward the renascence of human identity and human dignity. Historical illustrations, drawn from the higher heritage of humanity, revive values long forgotten. Ash Gobar re-argues the great argument for the impact of the "philosophy of life" upon the "quality of life." This is a timely work: the call of a modern philosopher to awaken the conscience of humanity from its existential vertigo.

“The ideal of higher humanism that Ash Gobar advances also represents our ideal for the future of mankind in this trouble-laden world.”—Hermann Wein, Author of Philosophie als Erfahrungswissenschaft
“Ash Gobar’s work represents insight, wisdom, and a deep measure of understanding not often encountered in American letters.”—Harry M. Caudill, Author of Darkness at Dawn and Night Comes to the Cumberland
