Diversity of humanist thought
Inspired by Bertrand Russell and the novelist E M Forster, What I Believe, edited by Andrew Copson, opens a window to different humanist perspectives of today.
Offering unique reflections on some of life’s biggest questions, these stunning essays powerfully showcase the vast diversity, breadth, and room for disagreement in humanist thought, even between people united by shared values, ideals, and principles.
The humanist view of life is progressive and dynamic. All ideas, values, and beliefs are open to question. In this book, readers will find inspiration to shape their own personal worldviews.
