Description
Humanism: A Very Short Introduction by Stephen Law explores how this philosophical approach uses science and reason to understand the world. Law examines the role of humanism in moral and secular societies, and its development as a philosophical alternative to traditional religious belief. He challenges common misconceptions about humanism and atheism, arguing that there is a positive alternative to traditional religious belief.
