Synopsis

Riddles of the Sphinx: A Study in the Philosophy of Humanism is a book written by Ferdinand Schiller. The book explores the concept of humanism and its significance in our lives. The author delves into the philosophical and psychological aspects of humanism, analyzing its role in shaping our understanding of the world and ourselves. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which deals with a specific topic related to humanism. The first chapter provides an introduction to the concept of humanism and its historical origins. The subsequent chapters delve deeper into the various aspects of humanism, such as its relationship with religion, morality, and politics. Throughout the book, the author uses the metaphor of the Sphinx to illustrate the complex nature of humanism. The Sphinx, a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion, represents the duality of human nature and the struggle to reconcile our animal instincts with our higher ideals.
