Affirming Humanism Dateline: September 23, 1998 Considering the level and intensity of attacks levied against humanism by religious conservatives in the media, from the pulpit, and on the internet, one might be lead to think that there is something to all of their allegations. 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.

humanism was not opposed to logic, as is commonly held, but opposed tothe particular brand of logic known as Scholasticism. Civic humanism.
http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~dee/REN/HUMANISM.HTM
humanism as both a program and a philosophy. Textbooks will tell you that the humanists of the Renaissance rediscovered the Latin and Greek classics (hence the "rebirth" or "renaissance" of the classical world), that humanist philosophy stressed the dignity of humanity, and that humanists shifted intellectual emphasis off of theology and logic to specifically human studies. In pursuing this program, the argument goes, the humanists literally created the European Renaissance and paved the way for the modern, secular world.
studia humanitatis . The studia humanitatis originated in the mddle ages and were all those educational disciplines outside of theology and natural science. Humanism was not opposed to logic, as is commonly held, but opposed to the particular brand of logic known as Scholasticism. In point of fact, the humanists actively revised the science of logic. Humanism, then, really begins during the middle ages in Europe; while the humanist scholars of the Renaissance made great strides and discoveries in this field, humanistic studies were really a product of middle ages. Not only that, the "rediscovery" of the classical world which was the hallmark of Renaissance humanism in reality began much earlier in the middle ages; as Europeans began to see themselves as a single ethnic group with a common origin in the middle ages, the recovery of classical literature, both Latin and Greek, became a concern for all the medieval centers of learning.
studia humanitatis consisted of more or less five disciplines drawn from the classical educational curriculum, called the

ANNOTATED WEBLIOGRAPHY OF HUMANISM
Last revision: 14 January 2003
This is a collection of websites related to humanism. It is an ANNOTATED and SELECTIVE list. The selection and annotation reflect my considered personal judgment. Hardly any evaluative comments are given, but inclusion of a site in this webliography of humanism means that I think it is a good site, worth visiting. Notes are given in the language used by the website concerned, mostly in the form of quotations taken from that site. When notes are given in more languages, it means that the site is (partly) available in those languages.
Many of the websites listed here properly belong to more than one of the categories used. Rather than repeating sites, I have decided to mention each website only once. Most of the sites in this webliography contain links to other relevant pages on the web. The site-addresses listed here are checked at least every six months. They have been checked on 14 January 2003.
The organization and the contents of this page, of course, heavily depend on the way the concept of "humanism" is used. To get a better understanding of what you find here, you can read an explication of what is meant by the word "humanism" . This explication refers to the research program Humanism, Meanings of Life, Worldviews

Humanism may be rightfully called a RELIGION of present day Western civilization (or, "something in place" of religion), "moving ideology" standing behind all in it. Namely by it - and engendered by it values of "Human Rights" and "Democracy" - the Western civilisation has been justifying itself in collision with any other: say, "Eastern", be it in a sense of not so long-ago Communist or today's hard-line fundamentalist "Muslim" (the confrontation with first one of which in a form of "Cold War" has now "switched over" to the second, what's more and more often called as "War of Civilisations"...). But, to say the truth, they are - dialectical halves. One of them can not be properly understood without the other (one of them even NEEDS other): 1.) Without such its "other part" humanism usually regarded (in "popular conscience") as simply "good", "humane" attitude to all;

Humanism, Meanings of Life, Worldviews
Last revision: 23 October 2002
This is a research project of the University for Humanistics (Universiteit voor Humanistiek) at Utrecht in the Netherlands. The other two related projects of the university are concerned with humanization, counseling, care and postmodernity and with the practice and theory of qualitative research in connection with humanist studies. The research in Humanism, Meanings of Life, Worldviews (in Dutch: `Humanisme, Zingeving, Levensbeschouwing') is focussed on European humanism in connection with meanings of life. Special attention is given to humanist worldviews as meaning frames. Meanings of life are investigated with regard to processes, frames, possibilities and problems. This constitutes a large field within which many pointed investigations are possible. The investigations are grouped into two sub-projects, which show some overlap . The sub-projects deal with humanism: meaning frame and worldview and with meanings of life You are welcome to contact us.

Library Modern Frederick Edwords : What is Humanism?
What Is Humanism?
Frederick Edwords
What is humanism? The sort of answer you will get to that question depends on what sort of humanist you ask! The word "humanism" has a number of meanings, and because authors and speakers often don't clarify which meaning they intend, those trying to explain humanism can easily become a source of confusion. Fortunately, each meaning of the word constitutes a different type of humanism the different types being easily separated and defined by the use of appropriate adjectives. So, let me summarize the different varieties of humanism in this way. Literary Humanism is a devotion to the humanities or literary culture. Renaissance Humanism is the spirit of learning that developed at the end of the middle ages with the revival of classical letters and a renewed confidence in the ability of human beings to determine for themselves truth and falsehood. Cultural Humanism is the rational and empirical tradition that originated largely in ancient Greece and Rome, evolved throughout European history, and now constitutes a basic part of the Western approach to science, political theory, ethics, and law. Philosophical Humanism is any outlook or way of life centered on human need and interest. Sub-categories of this type include Christian Humanism and Modern Humanism.

Can Public Schools Be Religiously Neutral?
Paul G. Kussrow and Loren Vannest
The Supreme Court ordered that all religious activities be removed from the public schools (Engel v. Vatale, l962) and in subsequent years strengthened its decision through further restrictions (Abington v. Schempp, l963; Stone v. Gramm, l980; Graham v. Central, l985; Jager v. Douglas, l989). Who can argue against neutrality? We who have a fundamental belief in God can point to the significant decline in standardized test scores, increase in student pregnancy, and violence in our schools since the Court's l962 decision. But the question remains, and has the Court been able to remove religion from the public schools or has only certain types of traditional (God based) religion been removed while non-God religions fill the vacuum? Is a religiously neutral public school education an oxymoron? Can individuals who think and work in what some term government sponsored institutions (public schools) truly be neutral and teach in what others hope will be religiously neutral zones?

A Publication of Meadville Lombard Theological School Spring 2000 Volume 1, Number 2 Religious Humanism
An address delivered at the Unitarian Universalist Association General Assembly 2000 William R. Murry

In every survey of UU's I have seen the majority identify themselves as religious humanists. Religious humanism in Unitarian Universalism now has a history of about 85 years. During that time it has evolved and changed somewhat. I want to mention what I consider to be the eight most important changes between the humanism of approximately the first 70 years and the new humanism that has been emerging for the last 15 or so years. For purposes of discussion I will call them the old and the new humanism. It is the new humanism that we at Meadville Lombard stress with our ministerial students who are humanist, but there is very little here that does not also apply to all our students, humanists and theists alike. These are some of the qualities and values we want our students to emphasize in their future ministries.
First, the old humanism emphasized the single individual with very little emphasis on the importance of the community. Contemporary religious humanism must stress the importance of the covenanted religious community. We are not independent, isolated individuals. We become individuals in community, starting with the community of the family. And we become truly human only in authentic community with others. I define authentic community as people who covenant to walk together for common purposes. A humanistic religious community will be a caring community in which each person cares about and to some extent for others within the community and outside the community as well. Community does not destroy individuality; it makes it possible. The Xhosa of southern Africa have a saying that puts it well. They say, "I am because we are."

Humanism: Some Thoughts from the Humanist Manifesto I
Humanism was “codified” by 34 of its leaders in 1933. Although many other versions of humanism have appeared before and since, here are some excerpts from the original Humanist Manifesto I:
FIRST: Religious humanists regard the universe as self-existing and not created. SECOND: Humanism believes that man is a part of nature and that he has emerged as a result of a continuous process. THIRD: Holding an organic view of life, humanists find that the traditional dualism of mind and body must be rejected. FOURTH: Humanism recognizes that man's religious culture and civilization, as clearly depicted by anthropology and history, are the product of a gradual development due to his interaction with his natural environment and with his social heritage. The individual born into a particular culture is largely molded by that culture. FIFTH: Humanism asserts that the nature of the universe depicted by modern science makes unacceptable any supernatural or cosmic guarantees of human values. Obviously humanism does not deny the possibility of realities as yet undiscovered, but it does insist that the way to determine the existence and value of any and all realities is by means of intelligent inquiry and by the assessment of their relations to human needs. Religion must formulate its hopes and plans in the light of the scientific spirit and method. EIGHTH: Religious Humanism considers the complete realization of human personality to be the end of man's life and seeks its development and fulfillment in the here and now. This is the explanation of the humanist's social passion.

77. Christian Character - Secular Humanism & New Age (Official A/G Perspective)
Urges Christians to resist Satans efforts to seduce and draw unsuspecting innocents away from Gods plan.
http://www.ag.org/top/beliefs/christian_character/charctr_17_new_age.cfm
Home About Us Beliefs Ministries ... Spiritual Help Explore... You can read about the authoritative weight of the documents presented in our "Beliefs" section, as well as view a complete list of topics covered here. Other Christian Character Topics This A/G Perspective reflects commonly held beliefs based on scripture which have been endorsed by the church's Commission on Doctrinal Purity and the Executive Presbytery. What does the Bible say about the beliefs of secular humanism and the New Age movement? At the center of this fatal evolutionary belief is the teaching that there is no God or personal Creator (atheism), and that humans are the apex of all reality. Its subtly appeals to many by saying that all humans are innately good (ignoring the Fall of the human race) and have unlimited potential to evolve into perfect creatures. Humanism teaches total self-sufficiency, completely denying any need for Deity. The New Age movement has kindred elements with secular humanism. The movement maintains that humankind stands at the threshold of a "new age" toward which individuals now must evolve mentally and spiritually. New Age evangelists proclaim that the good within all people is actually the dormant god existing in each person. The New Age goal is to awaken the god who sleeps deep within each human. In order to realize this false spiritual state, a new consciousness is needed to usher in a worldwide transformation of individuals and society, as people come to realize that they themselves are gods and therefore divine. Interestingly, what is called "new" in the western world has influences from ancient eastern philosophy.

Secular Humanism
- Exclusion Of God
Secular Humanism is an attempt to function as a civilized society with the exclusion of God and His moral principles. During the last several decades, Humanists have been very successful in propagating their beliefs. Their primary approach is to target the youth through the public school system.
John J. Dunphy, in his award winning essay, The Humanist (1983), illustrates this strategic focus, "The battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith: A religion of humanity utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to carry humanist values into wherever they teach. The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism."
Is this what's happening? John Dewey, remembered for his efforts in establishing America's current educational systems, was one of the chief signers of the 1933 Humanist Manifesto . It seems the Humanists have been interested in America's education system for nearly a century. They have been absolutely successful in teaching children that God is imaginary and contrary to "science." Secular Humanism - Main Tool is Evolutionary Thought
Secular Humanism is manifested in Evolutionary Theory. To satisfy the fundamental question of "Where did we come from?" children are taught the doctrine of
