The author is a leader in the secular humanist community, and well respected even by those who disagree with him. I think the author often takes his ideas too far, and attributes too much to humanism, which is, in my opinion, too narrow a worldview for the needs of the modern world. While I do embrace wholeheartedly his rejection of religious philosophy, and probably go further than he does, I do not think it is helpful to exclude other animals or other living things from the community of moral obligations. When he expands his humanism to include all of life, then he will have an unbeatable philosophical argument. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Does life have meaning if one rejects belief in God? This book responds affirmatively to that question. Paul Kurtz, America's leading secular humanist, provides a powerful defense of the humanist alternative, rejecting both religious spirituality and nihilism. In this inspirational book, Kurtz outlines the basic virtues of the secular humanist outlook. These virtues include courage, not simply to be or to survive, but to overcome and become; that is, to fulfill our highest aspirations and ideals in the face of obstacles. The two other virtues Kurtz identifies are cognition (reason and science in establishing truth) and moral caring (compassion and benevolence in our relationships with others.) Kurtz offers an optimistic appraisal of the human prospect and outlines a philosophy both for the individual and the global community. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
