Humanism and Individualism: Maslow and his Critics
Year: 1999
Type: article
Abstract: This analysis explores the philosophical issue of the individual-society relationship through a focus on Abraham Maslow's humanistic psychology and its significant influence on adult education in the United States. Analyzing the points of contention between the key assumptions of Maslow and recent critics, particularly Marxist and postmodernist scholars, the study concludes with perspectives that do not abandon humanistic possibilities while pinpointing its problems.
