The Library of Congress Exhibitions HOME Exhibition Sections: Introduction The Vatican Library Archaeology Humanism ... Credits HUMANISM The great intellectual movement of Renaissance Italy was humanism. The humanists believed that the Greek and Latin classics contained both all the lessons one needed to lead a moral and effective life and the best models for a powerful Latin style. They developed a new, rigorous kind of classical scholarship, with which they corrected and tried to understand the works of the Greeks and Romans, which seemed so vital to them. Seeking the Wisdom of the Ancients Scholarship Challenges Tradition Linguistic Correctness Confronting the Original Texts Seeking the Wisdom of the Ancients Costanzo Felici, Historia de coniuratione Catilinae (History of the Catilinarian Conspiracy) In Latin Dedication copy for Leo X Early sixteenth century Pius II (Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini), Commentaries In Latin Autograph Fifteenth century Although humanists had thronged the papal court since the beginning of the century, Pius II was the first real humanist to sit in the chair of Peter. Born in Siena as Enea Silvio Piccolomini, he acquired a reputation as a diplomat, belletrist, and womanizer, and was crowned poet laureate by the Emperor Frederick in 1442. After serving the emperor and the anti-Roman Council of Basel, Piccolomini joined the Roman camp in 1446. He became a cardinal in 1456 and in 1458 was elected pope. As pope, the only work of scholarship he was able to continue was his "Commentaries," a remarkably frank autobiography in which he put his passions and prejudices on full view. In the passage shown here, Pius expresses his bitter contempt for the French, who had been unwilling to join his crusade against the Great Turk.

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

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

But is there? In an intermittent series of essays, I intend to address a variety of those allegations and examine whether or not they enjoy a solid foundation. One common misconception which is often seen being bandied about is the idea that humanism embodies some sort of dogmatic creed . Most humanists will find this laughable, but they should not shrug it off too quickly. Enough people actually believe it that we really need to deal with it. There are any number of documents, historical and contemporary, which attempt to communicate what humanism is all about - are these creeds? Are they dogmatic? Some definitely think that such documents "read like creeds," and then proceed to assume that if they read like creeds, then they must be creeds. Why? The simplest explanation would be that they are so used to statements of beliefs actually

CommonSense Princeton's Secular Society Home Events The Journal Links *WHAT'S NEW* For the upcoming academic year (2001-2002), we are looking for a few enthusiastic students to lead CommonSense successfully into its third year at Princeton. If you are interested in becoming an officer (most positions are currently open!), please contact Vincent Lloyd '01 . Freshmen are especially welcome. ABOUT US CommonSense is Princeton's secular society. What unites us is an abiding interest in discussing profound questions from a secular perspective in the realms of religion, philosophy, politics, science and history. CommonSense does not support any one, specific stance within these realms; rather, we advocate and encourage free inquiry. The Nobel Laureate and British philosopher Bertrand Russell has described free inquiry in this way: Free inquiry "means thinking freelyas freely, at least, as is possible for a human being. The person who is free in any respect is free from something; what is the free thinker free from? To be worthy of the name, he must be free of two things: the force of tradition, and the tyrant of his own passions. No one is completely free from either, but in the measure of a man's emancipation he deserves to be called a free thinker." CommonSense holds meetings and organizes events throughout the year including lectures, interfaith/non-faith dialogues, movie nights, debates, group discussions and social events.

Humanism: An Introduction by Nicolaa de Bracton of Leicester In contrast, the early humanists espoused a return to study of the original texts, rather than a reliance on the glosses and commentaries produced by the scholasticists. This break was by no means clearmany of the later humanists continued to admire and make use of the works of scholastic scholars, while forging ahead with their own examination of the sources. "medieval" model of the scholar a monkish figure who retired from the world with his books rather than Petrarch's earlier belief in an active use of scholarship in civic life. Petrarch gradually retired from life as well, and in fact became more and more "medieval" in his outlookthough he never abandoned his reliance on classical sources as a model for writing, he turned more and more to traditional forms of scholarship, such as biblical commentary, in later life. "pagan" classics of antiquity, humanists were quick to apply their methods to biblical scholarship. One of the ways in which the spirit of humanism was expressed was in a rise in appreciation for the artifacts of the past. Indeed, the early humanists were the ones who invented the terms "Middle Ages" and "Renaissance."

Recommended Reading Notable Unitarians Home Harvard Square Library Home ROY WOOD SELLARS: PHILOSOPHER OF RELIGIOUS HUMANISM by W. Preston Warren of Bucknell University Roy grew up quite happily in very rural Pinnebog with much outdoor life: skating, swimming, playing baseball and tending the garden. There were Norwegian, Anglo-Canadian and French Canadian boys. ''It was a rather egalitarian situation...religious differences were taken for granted and ignored." A two-culture background disposed him to be international in outlook. Although he had friends in the village and countryside, he had no intellectual competitors. He went to the village school; and on completion of the eight grades at Pinnebog, he was sent to the Ferris Institute at Big Rapids to prepare him for the university. "There, he said, "I began to stand out and gained the friendship of both Mr. and Mrs. Ferris.'' W. D. Henderson, his teacher in physics and chemistry, once visited Sellars's home and saw his father's library. "Now I know," he said, "why Sellars has stood out."

Some religions have many gods; some have only one. Some religions are theistic; others are not. Theism is the opposite of atheism, which is belief that there is no god. Biblical theism is belief in the Judeo-Christian God, i.e., the God presented in the Bible. Biblical theism encompasses many subtopics. A study of the God of the Bible will necessarily focus attention on the Godhead, composed of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It relates to the nature and attributes of God, the pre-existence and deity of Christ, the person and operation of the Holy Spirit, and a host of other subcategories.

The Infancy of Printing An online exhibit that explores the transition from papyrus to paper, Gutenberg, and the first texts ever printed. Printing: Renaissance and Reformation This online exhibit includes images of books printed during the Renaissance and illustrations of printing presses and printing shops. The Humanist Philosophy The new interest in secular life led to beliefs about education and society that came from Greece and Rome. The secular, humanist idea held that the church should not rule civic matters, but should guide only spiritual matters. The church disdained the accumulation of wealth and worldly goods, supported a strong but limited education, and believed that moral and ethical behavior was dictated by scripture. Humanists, however, believed that wealth enabled them to do fine, noble deeds, that good citizens needed a good, well-rounded education (such as that advocated by the Greeks and Romans), and that moral and ethical issues were related more to secular society than to spiritual concerns.

It is as old as Greek philosopher Protagoras who said: "As for the gods, I do not know whether they exist or not. Life is too short for such difficult enquiries . . . . Man [human] is the measure of all things, determining what does and what does not exist." It is as old as Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, all non-theistic faiths of the first millennium BCE. It was the age of Confucius and Lao-tzu of China, the Upanishads of ancient India, of Buddha the Enlightened One, Zoroaster religious prophet of Persia, and the Hebrew prophets Elijah, Isaiah, and Jeremiah. It was Isaiah who exhorted "…bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, open the prison to them that are bound."
