Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This entirely new "Humanist Manifesto" is designed to address the problems of the twenty-first century and the millennium beyond. Providing a strong defence of scientific naturalism and technology, it is offered as a contribution to the dialogue among the different cultural, political, and economic viewpoints in the world. "Humanist Manifesto 2000" is formulated in the conviction that science, reason, democracy, education, and humanist values can enhance human progress. Drawing on the achievements of modernity - the success of scientific medicine, the overall improvement of public health, the Green Revolution, the conveniences of a consumer society, global communication and transportation, increased understanding of the natural world, and many others - the planetary humanism that this manifesto presents seeks to transcend the negativity of postmodernism and looks forward to the information age now upon us. "Humanist Manifesto 2000" promotes a humanistic ethics based on reason and a planetary bill of rights and responsibilities.It proposes a new global agenda, stresses the need for international institutions (including a new world parliament and regulation of global conglomerates), and concludes on a note of optimism about the human prospect. Endorsed by a distinguished list of humanist intellectuals including Arthur C. Clarke, Alan Cranston, Richard Dawkins, Richard Leakey, Jill Tarter, E.O.Wilson, and eleven Nobel Laureates, "Humanist Manifesto 2000" recommends long-range attainable goals and generates confidence in the ability of the human species to solve its problems by rational means and a positive outlook. This manifesto was drafted by Paul Kurtz in consultation with a twelve-person internal committee. Addresses the problems of the twenty-first century and the millennium beyond. This book provides a defence of scientific naturalism and technology. It recommends long-range attainable goals and generates confidence in the ability of the human species to solve its problems by rational means and a positive outlook.
