Extractions: The Humanist Philosophy in Perspective By David Mathews There is a world view present in humanism, a world view which is correctly characterized as "an arbitrary and dogmatic materialistic-atheist world view." Humanists have accepted a set of principles to determine their beliefs and opinions, and guide their decisions. These principles attempt to define what constitutes reality, and what entities, powers, objects, and forces can and can not exist. But are these principles valid? Is the humanists world view an accurate world view? Or, in other words, is humanism truth? These questions are answered positively by humanists, but their affirmations are grounded in assumptions and subjective preferences. When a humanists declares "God does not exist", that humanists would prefer that God not exist. Once it is known that humanism's declarations are grounded in their hopes, then a Christian can rest secure in the knowledge that humanism itself is a religion, and that (as a religion) it possesses every flaw which it condemns. Humanists do not recognize that they possess faith, and a religion. If humanists had knowledge of the nature of their own belief system, they could not say: "

"The Philosophy Of Humanism" By Corliss Lamont
The philosophy of humanism, by Corliss Lamont (full text).
http://www.corliss-lamont.org/philos8.htm

Extractions: Corliss Lamont was a prolific writer. In his lifetime he authored, co-authored, and edited 22 books, wrote 29 pamphlets in what was known as the "Basic Pamphlets" series, and had literally hundreds of "Letters to the Editor" published in newspapers throughout the United States. A sample of these letters can be found today, preserved for posterity, on The New York Times on the Web His most famous, and by far most popular work, was a full-length book originally titled Humanism as a Philosophy , first published in 1949, and since translated into several languages. Over the years he revised the book six times, the last edition coming out in 1990, when he was 88 years of age. The book is considered to be the standard text on the subject of Humanism. The New York Times called it "Both readable and persuasive." The following is taken from the 'Foreword to the Eighth Edition', by Beth K. Lamont: It is appropriate for a philosophy that breaks the shackles of oppressive orthodoxy to be written in a language that is brave enough to shrug off these same shackles. In light of this liberation, feminists and many Humanists have pointed out the need for an eighth edition of

It brings to mind notions such as love of humanity, peace and brotherhood. But, the philosophical meaning of humanism is much more significant: humanism is a way of thinking that posits the concept of humanity as its focus and only goal. In other words, it calls human beings to turn away from God their Creator, and concern themselves with their own existence and identity. A common dictionary defines humanism as: "a system of thought that is based on the values, characteristics, and behavior that are believed to be best in human beings, rather than on any supernatural authority." Today, humanism has become another name for atheism. One example of this is the enthusiasm for Darwin typical in the American magazine, The Humanist. The clearest definition of humanism, however, has been put forward by those who espoused it. One of the most prominent modern spokesmen for humanism is Corliss Lamont. In his book

http://asimovhumanists.org/AboutPhilosophy-of-Hum.htm

Extractions: The Humanist Manifesto III H umanism is the belief that human beings are a part of nature, that they have emerged as a result of a continuous evolutionary process, and that all their valuesreligious, ethical, political, and socialspring from human experience and are the product of their culture. H umanism is free from any belief in the supernatural, and is dedicated to the search for meaning and values for individuals on this earth through reliance on intelligence and the scientific method, democracy and social sympathy. H umanism affirms the inherent dignity and worth of every human being, and asserts that persons are responsible for the realization of their aspirations and that they have within themselves the power of achieving them. I n essence, Humanists seek truth rather than myth, understanding in the place of dogma, reason rather than blind faith, hope rather than despair, self acceptance rather than guilt, tolerance in the place of fear, democracy rather than authoritarianism, and kindness instead of selfishness. The Affirmations of Humanism W e are committed to the application of reason and science to the understanding of the Universe and to the solving of human problems. We reject efforts to denigrate human intelligence, to seek to explain the world in supernatural terms, and to look outside nature for a salvation. We are committed to the principle of the separation of church and state.

http://www.ams.ubc.ca/Clubs/humanist/NEWS/NEWS0007.HTM

Extractions: by James Rosso Sep. 23rd: Humanism's Basis in Science by Dr. Pat Duffy Hutcheon (Sociologist and Professor of Education). Dr. Hutcheon's thesis was that Humanism is based on the philosophy of naturalism; other world-views have some sort of unknowable mystery to them (the supernatural), be it integrated all around us (Monism) or localized in spirit form or a parallel realm (Dualism). Naturalism rejects the idea that any aspect of reality is fundamentally unknowable. One of the chief characteristics of science is that it explores and relates to, and is tested by the natural (as opposed to the supernatural) world. If the supernatural really exists, then science would apply to it as well, but then it would not be supernatural. This meshes well with Humanist thinking, which stresses that the natural world is all inclusive without any supernatural suspension of natural laws (physics and other sciences, cause and effect, etc.). Interestingly enough, this makes science agnostic as far as the supernatural is concerned because the supernatural, by definition, cannot be proven to be real. Dr. Hutcheon showed that, in a purely natural universe, ethics must be based on human experience and human feelings. In other words, ethical behavior is that which leads to desirable feelings such as happiness, contentment, and fulfillment.

A humanist has the freedom to not pledge allegiance to any one creed, church, or religious ideology.

Not that being oneself in a herd of denominational sheep, all led by a common shepherd, doesn't come with a pre-packaged comfort level. But I choose to be curious; a questioning at times, yes

Extractions: By Alphabet : Encyclopedia A-Z H Related Category: Philosophy, Terms And Concepts humanism, philosophical and literary movement in which man and his capabilities are the central concern. The term was originally restricted to a point of view prevalent among thinkers in the Renaissance. The distinctive characteristics of Renaissance humanism were its emphasis on classical studies, or the humanities, and a conscious return to classical ideals and forms. The movement led to a restudy of the Scriptures and gave impetus to the Reformation. The term humanist is applied to such diverse men as Giovanni Boccaccio, Petrarch, Lorenzo Valla, Lorenzo de' Medici, Erasmus, and Thomas More. In the 20th cent., F. C. S. Schiller and Irving Babbitt applied the term to their own thought. Modern usage of the term has had diverse meanings, but some contemporary emphases are on lasting human values, cultivation of the classics, and respect for scientific knowledge. See M. Hadas

Extractions: HUMANITIES I: GST 201-B RENAISSANCE: Humanism Humanists 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. While the emphasis in Roman education was on Greek authors, the emphasis in the medieval quadrivium and trivium was Latin authors, especially Christian authors, which students read in anthologies more than in the original.

What is the Aspen Institute? According to Joseph E. Slater, President of the Institute. it is "humanistic in view and international in scope." It brings together "leaders in thought and action from various spheres who should spend intensive work time together. . ." The goals of the Aspen Institute vary from "a deepening and broadening of public debate on vital social issues, to specific recommendations for new national and international policies and institutions in government, academia, and private enterprise: to proposals for new educational curricula and for innovative programs in the mass media"

Posthumanism is a kind of neohumanist ideology. It is often thought of in two markedly different ways. In Europe, posthumanism is understood as beyond humanism , and is the dominant secular, rational humanist philosophy . It transcends the ideas and images of the world of classical Renaissance humanism to correspond more closely to the 21st century 's ideas of scientific knowledge. It mainly differentiates from classical humanism in that it restores the statue that had been made of humanity to one of many natural species. According to this claim, humans have no inherent rights to destroy nature or set themselves above it in ethical considerations a priori. Human knowledge is also reduced to a less controlling position, previously seen as the defining aspect of the world. The limitations and fallibility of human intelligence are confessed, even though that doesn't mean abandoning the strong rational tradition of humanism. A branch of posthumanism that seeks to transcend these limitations is known as transhumanism 'Posthumanism' is synonymous with 'transhumanism' in the United States, as the traditional European meaning is largely restricted to university

What is Nontheistic Religion? "The great use of a life is to spend it for something that outlasts it," wrote Bertrand Russell. Wise and thoughtful men and women in all ages have agreed that the greatest lives are those given to the well-being of others. In promoting human understanding and happiness, we discover our own deepest and most enduring values. Many who belong to no church or sectalong with many who dowhen asked to identify their creed, will reply simply: " My religion is the golden rule." Or they will answer: "Formal church doctrines and theologies are not important to me. The way in which I relate to others and to myself is all that finally matters." Without perhaps having a label for their faith, such peopleto the degree that they live by these convictionsare practicing the essence of the Humanist religion. The religious philosophy known as Ethical Humanism (also called Ethical Culture) is a moral faith based on respect for the dignity and worth of human life. It is a practical, working religion devoted to ethical living, without imposing ritual obligations or prescribing beliefs about the supernatural. Thus it is purely a religion "of this world."

His account is remarkable in that it includes comparisons and examples from a diverse range of life-forms, human cultures, and branches of human knowledge. Wilson's empathy with his subject is compelling; his fundamental understanding of socio-biological principles, and sometimes deeply intuitive application of them to other fields is always thought-provoking if not entirely convincing.
