Extractions: Note: This essay originally appeared in the July/August 1999 issue of the Central Ohio Humanist In meeting people who describe themselves as Humanists, I've met more than a few who refuse to join any kind of Humanist organization or group. One reason given over and over for not joining is they don't what to be required to follow a dogma. They feel that in most cases the Humanist philosophy is a dogma much like the religious dogma that they rejected. They don't wish to replace one dogma with another. Is the Humanist Philosophy a dogma? On the surface, one could say that it is a dogma in much the same way that physics or economics is a dogma. When people have complained about following a humanist dogma, what they really have a problem with, is being told what to do. It is this negative aspect of dogma that they don't like. They don't realize that Humanism isn't a dogma in that negative way. Our philosophy is a set of principles and beliefs arrived at through consensus. We recognize that not everyone agrees 100% with each and every principle of Humanism. It isn't required, in order to be a Humanist or to join a Humanist group, that one must follow our principles to the letter, or agree totally with the collection of ideas we call the Humanist Philosophy. There really isn't some central authority dictating what Humanism should be; we all decide together by arriving at a consensus.

A Secular Humanist Response to "Why I am not a Humanist" This is an essay in rebuttal to an essay written by Jane Haddam about Humanism that was posted on her official website this year. September 11: A Humanist Response It would be extremely easy to discard my Humanism and go to church and start praying to God again. But would that protect me or my fellow citizens from future harm?

Humanism: Philosophy
Main Banner Ad, Forbidden Fruit The Ethics of Humanism, by Paul Kurtz Reviewedby Norman L. Geisler from the Christian Research Journal, Fall, 1988, page 27.
http://www.mustardseed.net/html/tohumanism1.html

Extractions: In this major work defending the ethics of secular humanism, Dr. Paul Kurtz, author of Humanist Manifesto II (1973), sets forth his goal "to show that there can be an objective and positive humanist basis for ethical conduct" (p. 17). He believes that a positive, objective ethic is possible without God, for "we, not God, are responsible for our destiny" (18). In the Manifesto Kurtz had written: "No deity will save us; we must save ourselves" (16). Forbidden Fruit is Kurtz's attempt to show how this is possible. Taking his title consciously from Genesis 3, he affirms an ethic which is "based on a scientific and naturalistic theory of nature and human nature and is grounded in the rational knowledge of good and evil"

Extractions: Welcome to the Corliss Lamont Website! Contents The Life of Corliss Lamont The Philosophy of Humanism, Eighth Edition Lover's Credo: Poems of Love The Affirmative Ethics of Humanism ... Contact Information Corliss Lamont (1902-1995) is a 20th century American hero whose independent thinking challenged prevailing ideas in philosophy, economics, religion, patriotism, world peace and the exercise of our cherished civil liberties. Corliss Lamont was born to Wall Street wealth, yet he championed the cause of the working class, and was derided as a "Socialist" and a "traitor to his class". Corliss Lamont's Humanist belief that earthlings have evolved without supernatural intervention and are responsible for their own survival on this planet caused traditionalists to label him a "godless atheist". Corliss Lamont's patriotic insistence that the United States maintain a productive relationship with the Soviet Union in the face of prevailing rabid anti-communist hysteria earned him the accusation by Senator Joseph McCarthy of being "un-American".

http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/h/humanism.htm

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

http://www.mind.net/rvuuf/pages/humanis1.htm

Extractions: by Corliss Lamont Humanism Defined Humanism believes in a naturalistic metaphysics or attitude toward the universe that considers all forms of the supernatural as myth; and that regards Nature as the totality of being and as a constantly changing system of matter and energy which exists independently of any mind or consciousness. Humanism, drawing especially upon the laws and facts of science, believes that homo sapiens is an evolutionary product of this great Nature of which we are a part; that our minds are indivisibly conjoined with the functioning of our brain; and that as an inseparable unity of body and personality, we can have no conscious survival after death. Humanism, having its ultimate faith in mankind, believes that human beings possess the power or potentiality of solving their own problems, through reliance primarily upon reason and scientific method applied with courage and vision. Humanism believes, in opposition to all theories of universal predestination, determinism, or fatalism, that human beings, while conditioned by the past, possess genuine freedom of creative choice and action, and are, within certain objective limits, the masters of their own destiny.

Extractions: - American Author 1835-1910 Philosophy, logic, theology are areas which have become typecast with India. To a person from outside India, this culture has nothing to offer other than the knowledge about these areas. As far as material culture goes, India had nothing to contribute, is the popular impression among people from the rest of our globe today as also among most Indians. The foregoing chapters have thrown light on the advances made by this country in the material sciences and the transmission of these advances abroad. This image of Buddha especially early Christianity Originally the plan of this author was to talk only about the advances in the material sciences and arts that had existed in India. This objective had been set to dispel the notion that India is only a land of Sages, Seers, saints and Philosophers. But after having spoken at length about the achievements of Indians in the physical sciences, this chapter on Philosophy has been included only to complete the discussion on the topic 'India's Contribution to Our World's Culture'.

We will consider what this overturning of the metaphysics of the subject implies for rethinking the human and the nature and danger of totalizing technological practices. We will then turn to Foucault's parallel critique of the subject, the study of "man", and disciplinary bio-power, and ask whether a new view of the subject and power can be developed in the aftermath of the humanism that Foucault and Heidegger so strongly criticize.

Extractions: Due to its vigor always the younger generation is responsible for the revival of suffering relationships and to risk a total separation from the older generation and its system. Even if I am a man full of errors, give me allowance allowed to present the following philosophic ideas : I am very unhappy about the mental distances between people because eventually the sum of common goals represent an anchor for our coexistence. This is valid for every group of people. Within these values every one has made an ordination. And here it begins to reach a critical point: Depending on life experience, feelings and mental capability everyone has established different priorities independently from being materialist or believing in God.
