IfthephilosophyderivedfromDescartes'"Ithink"andKant'stranscendentalselfisregardedashumanism,thenNeo-Kantismisatypicalhumanism.Let’snottalkaboutwhetherindividualNeo-Kantiansbelongtothephilosophersinthehumanistictrend.Onthewhole,Neo-KantisminheritedKant’sfoundationforscience,especiallynaturalscience(Marburgschool)andculturalscience(Freiburgschool).Theyworkhardwiththebasicprogram,theselffromwhichtheystartisgeneral,non-experienceandimpersonal,whichisfundamentallydifferentfromtheempiricalselfemphasizedbythehumanists.Moreover,Neo-Kantismpaysspecialattentiontothevalueofscience,whichispreciselythecharacteristicof"scientism",whichisverydifferentfromthehumanismthatemphasizespersonalvalue.
