Life does not become empty and meaningless in a godless universe. This is the contention at the heart of humanism, the philosophy concerned with making sense of the world through reason, experience and shared human values. In this thought-provoking introduction, Peter Cave explores the humanist approach to religious belief, ethics and politics, and addresses key criticisms. Revised and updated to confront today' s great crises - the climate emergency and global pandemics - and the future of humanism in the face of rapid technological advancement, this is for anyone wishing to better understand what it means to be human in the twenty-first century.
' A book for our times. ' -- Polly Toynbee ' Peter Cave brings to a serious subject his characteristic wit and humour, as well as wide knowledge and sharp insight. This is a very readable introduction to humanism - and a deeply human one. ' -- Richard Norman, Emeritus Professor of Moral Philosophy, University of Kent ' An admirable guide for all those non-religious. . . who may wake up to the fact that they are humanists. . . What we have in common is, indeed, not faith but our humanity. ' -- Sir Bernard Crick, Emeritus Professor of Birkbeck College, University of London, and author of In Defence of Politics
