Description/Notes
A fascinating collection of humanist thought. Among the subjects addressed are: morality without God, atheism and agnosticism, facing death, the nature of the physical world, human progress, criticism of religion, and much more. Humanist Anthology, by bringing together the best thinkers, skeptics, and critics of religion, shows how rich is the tradition from which modern humanism derives. Its aim is to remove some misconceptions - particularly the illusion that love and human brotherhood are purely Christian concepts that were unknown to the ancient world. The enlightening and stimulating readings in this volume provide ample ammunition for those engaged in arguments with religionists as well as sustenance for those wishing to reconsider their own attitudes toward life.
