«La humanidad perdida» is Alain Finkielkraut's essay on the twentieth century, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (176 pages, in Spanish).
The events that make the twentieth century the most terrible period in human history run through the book. Finkielkraut explores how the idea of humanity, since 1914, proved mortal and deadly, and how its most radical affirmation and its most fanatical negation led to the concentrationary universe. He argues for rethinking it so that it never kills again.
Volume 203 of Anagrama's Argumentos collection; translation by Thomas Kauf. First edition in 1998.
For readers of historical and philosophical essays interested in the moral consequences of the twentieth century.
