Is There Any Hope for The Humanist? Vic Stenger About a year ago I discontinued my membership in AHA, despite being the president of its Hawaii Chapter. I don't know if that was against the rules, but I did it anyway. I had no great problem with the national organization, although I felt it was not particularly effective. I thought then, and still do, that CODESH and Free Inquiry are doing a better job than AHA and The Humanist in articulating humanist philosophy and helping fend off the religious right in its avowed campaign to take over America. The Humanist struck me as more interested in promoting a left-wing social agenda than humanism. That would be all right, if AHA was a liberal political action group, but it is not. AHA is supposedly an organization whose purpose is to spread the humanist philosophy, which is based on a non mystical, rational interpretation of events. Not all left-wing positions meet this test, and not all humanists are political liberals. My personal political position is as far away as I can get from both the extreme left and right wings. Perhaps others in AHA felt a similar aversion to The Humanist , because shortly after, through no influence of mine, the editor resigned and an interim editor was named. Recently, when I read that Don Page, the editor of

Very interesting reading. It's not at all how I would put things, but certainly something I sympathize with.

And anyone who shares John Paul II's commitment to democracy, the free market, a "third way," pacifism, and a culture of life would do well to show us how all of the above stand or fall together.

Across the World, Let our creed be Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram (Truth, Goodness, Beauty) FUNDAMENTALS OF MONISTIC HUMANISM Please help Anil Chawla in writing this book Humanism has influenced modern civilization more than any other philosophy has. But, humanism is probably as old as mankind. Its foundations can be found in the ideas of classical Greek philosophers such as the Stoics and Epicurians as well as in Chinese Confucianism and in Indian philosophy. These philosophical views looked to human beings rather than gods to solve human problems. The proposed book Fundamentals of Monistic Humanism is an attempt to develop a holistic humanist philosophy that can guide individual, family, society, country and the world to lead a life in harmony with the nature and the universe. It starts from the fundamentals of humanism and takes help from ancient Indian philosophy. It does not reject any civilization or culture or religion. Nor does it accept any book or authority as the Ultimate Truth. The writing of this book is intended to be a co-operative effort involving all those who agree with the above basic vision.

108. Philosophy Sphere - Humanist Interview Alexander Another good example of your humanistic philosophy on the program is the episode Justice from the first season of the current series. http://www.philosophysphere.com/humanist.html

Interview of Gene Roddenberry: Writer, Producer, Philosopher, Humanist Originally published in The Humanist , March/April 1991 Interview conducted by David Alexander This interview appears here with the permission of the author. Gene Roddenberry is one of the most influential yet unheralded humanists of the twentieth century. His two most famous creations, Star Trek and its successor Star Trek The Next Generation , are solidly based upon humanistic principles and ideas. His creations have moved, inspired and sparked the imaginations of millions of people around the world. The basic massage of both Star Trek and Star Trek The Next Generation is that human beings are capable of solving their own problems rationally and that, through critical thinking and cooperative effort, humanity will progress and evolve. Star Trek Star Trek has run continuously in at least 150 markets in the United States, as well as dozens of foreign countries. This year marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the most successful television series in history. In September 1987, Star Trek The Next Generation debuted. Now, over 80 episodes later, it has surpassed in longevity the original series.

109. Peter Levine: November 21, 2004 Archives A third approach to “humanistic” moral philosophy is to look for patterns and developments in the history of ideas. For example, in After Virtue, http://www.peterlevine.ws/mt/archives/2004_11_21.html

Peter Levine A blog for civic renewal Main November 21, 2004 humanistic versus technical philosophy My two good friends from as early as kindergarten, the brothers Marcus and Jason Stanley, are guest-blogging with Brian Leiter . Lately, they have considered the very question that I have been writing about lately as I try to finish my current book-in-progress: the distinction (if there is one) between humanistic and technical philosopy My expertise, to the extent that I have any, is strictly limited to moral and political questions. In those fields of philosophy, there are not two distinct camps, the humanists versus the technical analysts. But there are two poles in a continuum. The same continuum defined moral philosophy in the Renaissance, when humanists (writers and teachers who practiced the studia humanitatis ) challenged the highly technical Scholastics, who saw philosophy as a science. I believe that we should move closer to the humanistic pole today, reviving certain aspects of Renaissance humanism. [Warning: The rest of this post is long, because I've pasted a section from my book into it.] "Technical" moral philosophy resembles medieval scholasticism in several important respects. First, technical ethicists (like the Scholastics) usually analyze raw materials that come from outside of contemporary academic philosophy. For the most part, they analyze intuitionsi.e., the judgments and opinions of contemporary people, especially those who are socially and culturally similar to the authoror canonical doctrines from the past, such as Kantianism and utilitarianism. Philosophers strive to make these raw materials more consistent and clear and reject any aspects that prove fatally contradictory.
