Description
A sweeping new history of humanism, spanning seven hundred years of writers, thinkers, scientists, and artists seeking to understand what it means to be truly human. Sarah Bakewell, a lifelong humanist, explores the diverse meanings of humanism, from its roots in the fourteenth century to its modern-day manifestations. By examining the lives and ideas of extraordinary humanists, Bakewell reveals the enduring power of this worldview, which has inspired people to make choices based on principles of freethinking, intellectual inquiry, and moral responsibility.
