Sinopse
Características

Paul Kurtz has been the dominant voice of secular humanism over the past thirty years. This compilation of his work reveals the scope of his thinking on the basic topics of our time and his many and varied contributions to the cause of free thought. It focuses on the central issues that have concerned Kurtz throughout his career: ethics, politics, education, religion, science, and pseudoscience.The chapters are linked by a common theme: the need for a new enlightenment, one committed to the use of rationality and skepticism, but also devoted to realizing the highest values of humanist culture. Many writings included here were first published in magazines and journals long unavailable. Some of the essays have never before been published. They now appear as a coherent whole for the first time. Also included is an extensive bibliography of Kurtzs writings. Toward a New Enlightenment is essential for those who know and admire Paul Kurtzs work. It will also be an important resource for students of philosophy, political science, ethics, and religion.Among the chapters are: Humanist Ethics: Eating the Forbidden Fruit; Relevance of Science to Ethics; Democracy without Theology; Misuses of Civil Disobedience; The Limits of Tolerance; Skepticism about the Paranormal: Legitimate and Illegitimate; Militant Atheism vs. Freedom of Conscience; Promethean Love: Unbound; The Case for Euthanasia; and The New Inquisition in the Schools.
