The thesis examines a philosophical discussion by Dušan Pirjevec entitled »Vprašanje o koncu humanizma« (The issue of the end of humanism), having regard to a major crisis of humanism of the modern European man. It focuses on the subject, who actively enters history, on its origin and development, on establishing the man-subject and on the consequences of a privileged position arising from the reign of the subject. A more detailed problematisation of the modern world epoch's internal structure and its crisis leads to an examination of the technique and differentiation between two ways, in which it is viewed: the original Greek view and modern instrumental-anthropological view. Not only is technocracy as realization of humanism the greatest danger of all, but it is also a solution that requires insight into the core of the technique and a great transformation of man's mindset – according to Pirjevec, all this is represented by the reevolution of the essence. In his philosophy, Pirjevec relies on philosophers, such as Heidegger, Urbančič, M. Lozar and others.
