Professor Holub's Anti-humanism Research Project examines reception histories of a concept in three cultural contexts: Italy, France, and Germany. Although "anti-humanism" commands a long history, it is usually understood as a Heideggerian concept. The research thus far has concentrated on the trajectory of Heideggerian studies in our three target cultures. Since our methodological approach derives from the sociology of knowledge, we have traced not only the various translations of Heidegger's works, but also the status of Heidegger's philosophy vis-a-vis other philosophers in the context of disciplines, institutions, and educational histories. While we can document substantive features of the various reception histories (who worked on Heideggerian topics, when, and for which purpose), we still need to check facts as the project will be written up. Students working with Professor Holub have an interest in intellectual history as well as in sociology of knowledge, that is in studying the empirical conditions for the production of certain kinds of knowledge. While the focus is on European intellectual history, it is precisely by placing that history in a global context which allows us to highlight some of its typical features. The research focuses on the idea of "anti-humanism" in three cultural contexts in the period from 1945 to 1995.
