Recenzii

It's an honour to be included in this lovely collection of humanist ideas and perspectives. One of the wonderful things about humanism is the adventure of exploring the rich variety of perspectives that we humans can create for ourselves, originating in a rational view of the world seen through the huge diversity of human experience. This book is a wonderful guide to this bounty, full of very human stories and illuminating insights.
My humanist belief helps me make sense of the universe and my place within it, which in turn gives my life hope and meaning. To be able to share my thoughts alongside so many leading contemporary thinkers and wonderful human beings in this new book is a tremendous honour.
A manifesto for progressive thinking. Vastly provocative, erudite and entertaining. I contributed and I'm proud!
Do you need God to lead a moral and meaningful life? What a question! Here you'll find more than thirty reflections (and there could be many more) on what makes life worth living in this world.
