| Description: |
The authors teach by example how to analyse arguments for and against humanist ideas, how to judge alternative theories and how to evaluate humanism as a whole, in this text that breaks humanism down into 17 fundamental propositions for students to dissect. |
| Synopsis: |
This is a textbook on the "big ideas" of Western humanism - secularism, rationalism, materialism, democracy, individualism and many others. Students are invited to think critically about these powerful themes that run through Western thought from the ancient Greeks to the Enlightenment, to the 21st century. Drawing on an accessible, student-friendly format, the authors teach by example how to analyse arguments for and against humanist ideas, how to judge alternative theories and how to evaluate humanism as a whole. The text breaks humanism down into 17 fundamental propositions for students to dissect. |
