Inhaltsangabe

This book delves into the concept of humanism, a philosophy placing central importance on human life. It explores the historical development of humanism, from its roots in Greek philosophy, through the Enlightenment, and up to its contemporary manifestations. The author delves into the different strands of humanism, including naturalism, supernaturalism, and the interplay of humanism in fields like sociology, politics, economics, education, and religion. Throughout the book, the author examines the implications and limitations of humanism, ultimately arguing for a more comprehensive humanism that synthesizes the best elements of its various forms. This book offers a nuanced and insightful exploration of humanism, providing a deeper understanding of its historical roots, philosophical underpinnings, and relevance to contemporary life.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Lectures on Humanism: With Special Reference to Its Bearings on Sociology

A short course such as this must necessarily appear very sketchy and inadequate. One can hardly hope that it will do more than awaken reflection, and suggest directions in which further light may be sought. But even this is probably worth doing, especially at a time when the im portance of philosophical principles in the general life Of mankind is becoming more and more appar ent. The concluding lecture contains hints of ideas which the author hopes shortly to be able to develop more fully.
