Question

about humanism brief introduction

Answer 1

There are various connotations to the word ‘humanism’. In the broadest terms, it means a system of thought in which human values, interests, and dignity are considered especially important. Today, however, the meaning is more focused. The Introduction outlines seven characteristics of humanism: science and reason are invaluable tools; humanists are either atheist or agnostic; this life is the only life we have; moral values are important; we have individual moral autonomy; our lives have meaning without it being bestowed by God; and humanists favour an open, democratic society with a neutral state.

Answer 2

humanism is a belief that human needs and values are more important than religious beliefs, or the needs and desires of humans. An example of humanism is the belief that the person creates their own set of ethics. An example of humanism is planting vegetables in garden beds.
