One who view the man as a sujbect and condemn all attempts to objectify him :

  • A.Realists
  • B.Idealists
  • C.Existentialists
  • D.Pragmatists

Answer: C

They are the existentialists.

Existentialism, from Kierkegaard to Sartre and Buber, holds that existence precedes essence: man is a free, choosing subject who creates himself through his decisions and is responsible for them. Treating a person as an object, a case, a number or a product of forces, denies that freedom, so existentialists condemn every attempt to objectify man; Buber's I-Thou relation is the educational expression of this.

Realists study man as part of an objective world that exists independently of mind. Idealists stress mind and universal spirit rather than the individual's free existence, and pragmatists judge ideas and persons by their practical consequences. None makes the refusal of objectification its central claim.
