This book provides an introduction to Humanism as a non-religious approach to life. It does not assume any previous knowledge and sets out the major beliefs with which Humanists today are concerned, particularly the Humanists case against religion. A special featrure of the book is the contribution of students to the chapter on rites and ceremonies in which they ahave composed their own marriage and funeral ceremonies.

About the Author:
Review:
Jeaneane Fowler is the former head of philosophy and religious studies at the University of Wales–Newport, and was later named an honorary research fellow. She is the coauthor of World Religions: An Introduction for Students.
“The best source book on humanism that is currently available. It is especially valuable because Dr. Fowler not only deals with the theory of humanism, but its practical applications. She demonstrates how humanists deal with moral questions—such as equality of the sexes, education, abortion, euthanasia, genetics, etc. She also points out that humanists celebrate the rites of passage—all contributing to shared experiences within communities. I am glad to recommend this unique and comprehensive work.” —Paul Kurtz, professor emeritus, philosophy, State University of New York–Buffalo
“A sympathetic, comprehensive statement of humanism, exploring both its philosophical basis and its practical application living one’s life.” —Humanity
“It is a pleasure to recommend this book to the reader. Humanism is important in our day but has lacked a recent thorough and scholarly, yet readable text describing it and entering into its spirit.” —Sir Hermann Bondi
