Description
Understanding Humanism provides a clear and systematic exploration of humanism as a non-religious worldview. This book delves into the historical tradition of thought and the stance embodied in organised institutions, examining the beliefs and values that underpin humanist practice. The authors discuss key questions such as the relationship between science and religious belief, the value placed on the arts, and the nature of human responsibility. They also explore whether humanism entails a particular view of life's meaning and significance, and how it relates to issues like human rights and nihilism. This book serves as an ideal introduction to the field of humanism, making it accessible to those new to the topic. By engaging with the arguments presented, readers can gain a deeper understanding of this non-religious worldview and its relevance in today's world.
