    Extractions: PAID ADVERTISEMENTS What Is Humanism? Frederick Edwords What is humanism? The sort of answer you will get to that question depends on what sort of humanist you ask! The word "humanism" has a number of meanings, and because authors and speakers often don't clarify which meaning they intend, those trying to explain humanism can easily become a source of confusion. Fortunately, each meaning of the word constitutes a different type of humanism the different types being easily separated and defined by the use of appropriate adjectives. So, let me summarize the different varieties of humanism in this way. Literary Humanism is a devotion to the humanities or literary culture. Renaissance Humanism is the spirit of learning that developed at the end of the middle ages with the revival of classical letters and a renewed confidence in the ability of human beings to determine for themselves truth and falsehood. Cultural Humanism is the rational and empirical tradition that originated largely in ancient Greece and Rome, evolved throughout European history, and now constitutes a basic part of the Western approach to science, political theory, ethics, and law. Philosophical Humanism is any outlook or way of life centered on human need and interest. Sub-categories of this type include Christian Humanism and Modern Humanism.

    Extractions: Humanism One of my most important philosophies is called Humanism. You may have heard different things about Humanism so I probably should say what I mean by Humanism. In a nutshell, Humanism supports a secular philosophy that values people, emphasizes reason, and focuses on the world in which we live. Since 1994, I have been a member of the Humanist Community of Central Ohio in Columbus. I am a past President of HCCO and currently Editor of the newsletter Central Ohio Humanist On my Humanism page I've included additional information and links as well as some of my essays that have appeared in the HCCO newsletter.

    Extractions: Neo-Humanist Philosophy By Marcus Bussey Simple ideas are often the most powerful. This is certainly the case with Neo-Humanism. Rooted in the ancient yogic perception that all existence is bound together, that we are all interconnected, Neo-Humanism transcends a limited and deeply wounded humanism with an holistic reconceptualisation of what it is to be human. Neo-Humanism is a process of becoming consciously, self consciously, human. Essentially it is a term both general and specific, covering as it does all the 'holisms' that have sprung up in the humanities, sciences, and social movements in recent decades, while more specifically being a set of principles for living based on the ethic of universal love. As an ethical approach to life it has as it leading exponent the Indian philosopher, political activist and mystic, Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar. As such it is philosophical in form, revolutionary in spirit and spiritual in orientation. I would venture to say that such a brew could not have come from the west where the philosophical, the revolutionary and the spiritual operate or function, more or less, as discrete activities. Neo-Humanism offers a strong critique of nationalism, sexism, specism, capitalism and racism. As an ethical system its emphasis is on an integrated world view that urges us to embrace all experience of the phenomenal world reverentially. As a way of knowing it breaks the bounds of humanism, to include the rights and liberties of the entire phenomenal world. As such it is part of the current reaction to the divisive and alienating effects of western rationalism.

    Extractions: HUMANISM IS A PHILOSOPHY TO LIVE BY HUMANISM contends that human values - religious, ethical, political and social - come from human experiences and are a product of our culture. HUMANISM considers humans to have intelligence, creativity and power to solve social and personal problems with responsibility for actions and morals toward others. HUMANISM questions the supernatural and relies on intelligence, science, democracy and social sympathy to search for solutions to human problems. HUMANISM insists that human beings are a part of nature, emerging as a result of continuous evolutionary process. HUMANISM emphasizes the oneness of the human race with the inherent capacity to establish a peaceful world. HUMANISM distrusts the use of force creating fear which makes people ready to accept illusions for truth.

    Extractions: Is Progress Inevitable? For most of my life I have been trying to relate my personal experiences to ideas I have absorbed from othersboth during my formal education, and later on. It was like assembling a whole series of massively complicated jigsaw puzzles, and then taking the puzzles themselves and fitting them together into new and larger sets of patterns. Pattern recognition, the ability to perceive relationships, the quest for the missing piece or the missing principle, and the thrill when I found itthat has been the name of the great game of my life. By the time I retired, nearly ten years ago, I had assembled enough of the pieces so that I was ready to move to the next stage, writing essays. The first essays were the easiest, and they came rapidly, sometimes two or three a day. As the subject matter got more complex, their rate of production diminished, and now months sometimes go by with nothing to show. By now I am finally getting to the point where I can rationally perceive at least the outlines of what I have subconsciously been seeking all along. And that is nothing less than a definition of what a modern, educated, informed, and rational person can have faith in. I have pulled enough pieces together into patterns that fit to be certain that the faith of our fathers (and mothers) needs to be consigned to an honorable pasture. As I put it in one essay, it is time "to give God the boot". Either God invented humankind, as we have been taught for ages, or humans invented God, (or the gods, depending on which particular group of humans you are talking about.)

    Extractions: Return to Index Page This File/ Plain Text from the Christian Research Journal, Fall 1991, page 20. The Editor-in-Chief of the Christian Research Journal is Elliot Miller. On Thursday, September 8, 1966, at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, "Star Trek" made its first appearance on television. It was not a particularly auspicious beginning. The episode, "The Man Trap," was a fairly routine monster story. Critics panned the show. After only a few weeks, NBC was threatening to cancel the series.[1] Twenty-five years later, however, Star Trek[2] has proven to be something of an institution among science fiction space fantasies enjoying widespread popularity and undying loyalty from its highly devoted fans, known as "Trekkies" (or sometimes "Trekkers"). The original series ran just 79 episodes over three years;[3] its run would have been even shorter had it not been for an unprecedented letter-writing campaign by Trekkies. And ever since the series ended on June 3, 1969, its fans have refused to let it die. Six weeks later, on July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon, giving increased credibility to the notion of space travel. The series began running in syndicated reruns immediately and has not stopped yet. In 1973 and 1974 NBC aired 22 animated episodes. From 1979 to 1989 Paramount Pictures released five Star Trek theatrical films, and a sixth (and reportedly final) one is expected to be released Christmas 1991.

    Extractions: "Much of the notice Foucault initially attracted derived from his ability to coin the striking phrase. The most notorious was his declaration, at the end of his 1966 book, The Order of Things , of 'the death of man'. His obvious allusion to Nietzsche's proclamation of 'the death of God' drew a considerable degree of attention to himself and to the then-burgeoning school of anti-humanist philosophy. One of anti-humanism's central philosophical claims is that humanism's belief in the autonomy of the subject is an illusion. The two characteristics of 'the subject' that come under strongest attack are those of free will and consciousness . From a humanist perspective, the individual is a free agent who normally weighs up the issues confronting him and makes his own, rational decision about what to do. The anti-humanist rejects this as naive, for it omits the dimension of the unconscious. The concept of the unconscious, which originated in mid-nineteenth century German philosophy, has allowed anti-humanists to proclaim that the entire humanist tradition has been wrong to assign the conscious mind the central role in the functioning of a human being. They believe that the unconscious is the dominant influence on behaviour and thought, and that we must abandon the assumption that purposive action is consciously derived. Hence, we must reject our believe in the autonomy of the individual subject.

Download the following information in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. Humanism Neoplatonism: Ficino, Humanism Richard K. Hines, Department of History Washington State University Of all the practices of Renaissance Europe, nothing is used to distinguish the Renaissance from the Middle Ages more than humanism as both a program and a philosophy. Textbooks will tell you that the humanists of the Renaissance rediscovered the Latin and Greek classics (hence the "rebirth" or "renaissance" of the classical world), that humanist philosophy stressed the dignity of humanity, and that humanists shifted intellectual emphasis off of theology and logic to specifically human studies. In pursuing this program, the argument goes, the humanists literally created the European Renaissance and paved the way for the modern, secular world. In classical Rome, higher education consisted almost entirely of the quadrivium and the trivium; all the major patriarchs of the Christian religion were raised in this tradition, including Augustine and Boethius. The perpetuation of the quadrivium and the trivium throughout the early and high middle ages was naturally a continuation of the educational background of the early Christian authors. The central difference between the Roman and the medieval trivium and quadrivium is that the medievals had pretty much lost the Greek language and the classical Greek authors.

The Continuum of Humanist Education (COHE) is a million-word, dynamic, ongoing exploration of humanism. This brief survey course, Introduction to Humanism , is going to fall somewhere in between, providing a one- to two-hour overview of the history, philosophy, and goals of humanism. By the time you've finished the two lessons of this module, you'll have a general understanding of what humanism is (and what it is not!), the role of humanism in history, the core principles of humanism, and what humanism offers the individual and society. We hope this course will inspire you to delve deeper into the rich culture of humanism by exploring other courses within the Continuum. Introduction to Humanism is divided into two lessons.

    Extractions: "Much of the notice Foucault initially attracted derived from his ability to coin the striking phrase.

His obvious allusion to Nietzsche's proclamation of 'the death of God' drew a considerable degree of attention to himself and to the then-burgeoning school of anti-humanist philosophy. Foucault meant by 'the death of Man' that humanist philosophy had now been overthrown. . . .Humanists have long shared a commitment to the idea that individual man himself, the human subject—understood as man's consciousness and will—is the originators of human actions and understanding. The notions of individual freedom and individual responsibility, and the philosophies that support them have long been based upon it. However, according to Foucault, this movement has now run its course. His proclamation was based not only on his rejection of this 'philosophy of man' but on its demise from its position at the centre of contemporary thought and culture. The humanism of the modern era had been toppled and replaced by the anti-humanism of the postmodern. Modern humanism is therefore mistaken in drawing this line between knowledge and power. Knowledge and power are integrated with one another, and there is no point in dreaming of a time when knowledge will cease to depend on power; this is just a way of reviving humanism in a utopian guise. It is not possible for power to be exercised without knowledge. It is impossible for knowledge not to engender power.

    Extractions: The exact point in time when the term "Humanism" was first adopted is unknown. It is, however, certain that Italy and the re-adopting of Latin letters as the staple of human culture were responsible for the name of Humanists. Literoe humaniores was an expression coined in reference to the classic literature of Rome and the imitation and reproduction of its literary forms in the new learning; this was in contrast to and against the Literoe sacroe of scholasticism. In the time of Ario sto, Erasmus, and Luther's beginnings, the term umanisa was in effect an equivalent to the terms "classicist " or " classical scholar." Italian Humanism Dante had an admiration for ancient letters. At first, he intended to compose his great epic in Latin verse. Petrarch considered his Africa a fair effort to reproduce Vergil . In the exordium of his chief work Petrarc h appeals to the Heliconian Sisters as well as to Jesus Christ, Savior of the world. He also reviews the epics of Homer (although he never learned Greek), Statius, and Lucan. He was overwhelmed with the friendships of many prestigous men of his day, a mong whom Cardinal Stephen Colonna was prominent. Petrarch is the pathfinder as well as the measure of the new movement. He idealized the classical world. His classicist consciousness and his Christian consciousness are revealed in his writings. Th e experiences of life constantly evoke in him classic parallels, reminiscences, associations. Julius Caesar, Papirius Cursor, are

There are many overlapping definitions of Humanism, but Humanists understand the world through empirical study, and Humanists derive ethical obligations from the inherent dignity and worth of humans as living beings.

Some other definitions: Humanism is a way of living, thinking, and acting that allows every The American Humanist Association The American Humanist Association The International Humanist and Ethical Union Humanism is a philosophy of life inspired by humanity and guided by reason. Humanists think that science and reason provide the best basis for understanding the world around us; and believe that moral values are properly founded on human empathy and scientific understanding. Humanists do not see any convincing evidence for gods, the supernatural, or life after death. They believe we must live this life on the basis that it is the only life we lead, and that therefore we must make the most of it for ourselves, each other, and our world.

    Extractions: September 24, 1995 Thank you very much for inviting me to speak to you this morning about the history and philosophy of Humanism and its role in Unitarian Universalism. I am very happy to be here. What is Humanism? For many reasons, this is not an easy question to answer, but I will attempt to answer it in a number of steps. The word "humanism" has a number of distinct meanings, all legitimate, so let's briefly discuss them all and narrow in on my type of humanism. First, humanism means the study of the humanitiesliterature, history, philosophy, and so forth. Professors and students of history, philosophy, and literature are humanists, and are perfectly legitimately so described. A second definition of humanism is the European Renaissance revival of interest and critical inquiry in Western classical literature, which as you know, was pervasively secular and oriented to human, rather than theological, concerns, unlike that other great literary source of Western thought, the Bible. Individual scholars of such classical letters, such as Thomas More of England and Erasmus of Holland, were orthodox believers in an age of encompassing Christianity, but they are widely and correctly described as humanists, because they translated and commented upon the great literature of Aristotle, Plato, and other ancient classical, pagan writers.

Many of us have at some time, upon referring to ourselves as humanists, heard comments like, "Oh, I see. Then you're only concerned with human beings and not with other species?" I was, however, nonplussed recently to discover that apparently a few humanists also hold that the superiority of Homo sapiens is a, belief intrinsic to humanism. And in taking a closer look, it became clear to me that the American humanist movement's involvement in environmental and species preservation issues has been, at best, uneven, inconsistent, and inadequate.

    Extractions: Novermber 1998 Since retiring from KSL Radio in 1986 Florien Wineriter's focus has been his philosophy. For decades Wineriter was a broadcast journalist and radio personality for KSL and KALL radio stations. He also served a year as a state legislator in 1957 for western Salt Lake County. "I think a highlight was when KSL asked me to work as their political specialist," Wineriter said. He was sent to cover the turbulent Democratic and Republican national conventions in 1968 and covered the Utah State Legislature Wineriter is fascinated by the American political system due to its capacity for public participation. He was raised in the LDS Church but joined the Unitarian Church in 1952. In the 1930's several Unitarian clergymen in Chicago joined to form an organization that had a humanist philosophy. This subsidiary of the church has become the American Humanist Association. "Philosophically they're very close," Wineriter says of the church he attends and the thought that he lives by. Humanism is a philosophy where human interests, values, and ethics predominate. Wineriter describes it as promoting "individual responsibility," outside of the dogma of a religious institution. The idea that humans should do the right thing because it is the right thing not to reach some kind of eternal salvation. "We take one life at a time," he quipped.
