Humanist Ideals
T. G. Masaryk wrote that in philosophy he had never “created anything that …. he did not feel, think through, and suffer. Many modern philosophers voiced similar views. They abandoned the construction of comprehensive systems and, in their writings, increasingly sought to capture their own experience – with the man, society, and nature. The world unfolds before them as a personal theme and challenge. They aim to get to the heart of irritating or troubling issues and to clarify them. At the same time, they often shape the form of their work to a subjective perspective: at times adopting diary-like features, at times balancing between philosophy and fiction, or offering aphoristic commentary on topics approached from an individual standpoint – as in Friedrich Nietzsche’s work.
