231: Humanism

from Philosophy Talk Starters · host Philosophy Talk Starters

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/humanism. Humanism as a movement arose with the Renaissance. It took powerful expression with the Enlightenment, and deeply influenced the founding of the United States. But now "secular humanism" is widely decried and even derided. What was Humanism, and what has it become? In an age of appreciating the interconnectedness of all nature, is the Humanist enterprise out of date? Ken and John are joined by Jennifer Bardi, editor of "The Humanist" magazine, for a program recorded live at the 69th annual conference of the American Humanist Association in San Jose.
