DESCRIPTION:Mark Greif's 2015 book on midcentury American humanism raises 
 a difficult question. Is the history of responses to fundamental anthropol
 ogical questions ('What is man?') worth writing? This paper uses developme
 nts in 20th century British social thought to consider some of those quest
 ions. It explores the mutable and increasingly nebulous meanings which cri
 tics of capitalism in Britain attached to the concept of 'human personalit
 y'. It argues that the answer to Greif's question is 'yes'.
