In which book did Gray attack philosophical humanism?
Brave New World
Straw Dogs
The Human Stain
Human, All Too Human
Answer
"Straw Dogs," published in 1972, serves as a platform for Gray's critique of philosophical humanism. Specifically, Gray argues that humanism, with its emphasis on human progress and rationality, has obscured the inherent violence and irrationality underlying human nature. Highlighting the precarious balance between civilization and savagery, Gray's work challenges humanistic ideals and prompts reflection on the darker aspects of human existence.
