Secular Humanism

In the fall of 1986, the Tennessee Court's decision on 'secular humanitarian' in Holt, Rinehart, Winston textbooks continued discussion on this term. Today, the term "secular humanism" is used to attack most of our population. The ridiculous thing about using this word means the image of a grotesque grotesque monster. But, in fact, this word contains only two misunderstood words. In combination, they proposed a virus, but it is harmless if it is not healthy.

Secular humanism is the product of the enlightenment rationalism of the 18th century and the liberal thought of the 19th century. Many secular groups such as the Secular Humanitarian Council and the American Rationalists Federation, and many other unrelated academic philosophers and scientists insist on this concept. The most important irony of dealing with modern humanism is that its supporters tend to oppose whether this view of the world is religious or not. People who regard it as philosophy are secular humanists, those who regard it as religion are religious humanists. This conflict has continued since the integration of worldly tradition and religious tradition in the early 20th century, and the humanism of modernism has become a reality.

Secular humanism is a system of beliefs that asserts morality and reason as the only way to gain knowledge. Secular humanists reject blind beliefs and doctrines and support scientific exploration. It is also called scientific humanism. Superhumanism (sometimes abbreviated as "H or H +") uses science and technology, in particular neuroscience, biotechnology and nanotechnology, to overcome the limitations of humans and improve human condition A new philosophy to analyze or support. Dr. Robin Hansen said that "Because new technologies may revolutionize the world after the next century, our descendants will no longer be" people "in many ways."

Secular humanism is a virtue and value without religion. Perhaps there is no one who knows it as much as the Kurds who are "the father of worldly humanism". As author of more than thirty books, Kurtz explains the living, meaningful and ethical lifestyle based on the reason, courage, moral compassion and not supernatural. In this book, his thesis is divided into five parts: extravagant life, independence, altruism, humanism, and moral truth. Kurtz believes that "If you can overcome religion, transcendence, and supernatural myths in human history, the world will be better" (p. 215). He is skeptical of the doctrine of 'ingenious sin', believing that man has the ability of right and wrong, morality spreads in human civilization, and that science and technology can create richness and happiness It is.
