| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Humanism is an approach in study, philosophy, or practice that focuses on human values and concerns. It stresses secular ideology which espouses reason, ethics, and justice, whilst specifically rejecting supernatural and religious dogma as a basis of morality and decision-making. Modern meanings of the word have therefore come to be associated with a rejection of appeals to the supernatural or to some higher authority. This book studies the concept of humanism including the American Humanist Association, Humanist Manifesto, Amsterdam declaration, Christian humanism, and transhumanism. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.
