Summary/Abstract: The study shows a critical position against Tvetan Todorov’s books published in the last 25 years. The analysis focuses on negative thinking and humanism expressed by Todorov especially in two books with proven influence: Facing the extreme: moral life in the concentration camps (1991); Imperfect Garden: The Legacy of Humanism (1998). Todorov’s position is interpreted as representative for the current Western culture.
