Humanism is a philosophical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of the human species, both individually and collectively. Humanism is non-dogmatic and open-ended. The meaning of the term humanism has fluctuated according to the successive intellectual movements which have identified with it. Generally, however, humanism is the belief that human beings are the source of meaning and values. Humanists see humanity as having the capacity for continued growth and development, and they affirm some notion of human freedom and progress. Humanism views humanity as responsible for the promotion and development of individuals, espouses the equal and inherent dignity of all human beings, and emphasizes a concern for humans in relation to the world. In practice, humanist philosophy advocates for the equal treatment of all people, regardless of their race, ethnic background, sex, gender, religion, or nationality.

Pan-humanism is the concept of an affiliation with the humankind through some sort of legislative structure that allows all technological and economic development to be for the benefit of the people.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Secular Humanism

Secular Humanism begins with atheism (absence of belief in a deity) and agnosticism or skepticism (epistemological caution that rejects the transcendent as such due to a lack of evidence). Because no transcendent power will save us, secular humanists maintain that humans must take responsibility for themselves. While atheism is a necessary condition for secular humanism, it is not a sufficient one. Far from living in a moral vacuum, secular humanists “wish to encourage wherever possible the growth of moral awareness and the capacity for free choice and an understanding of the consequences thereof.”


Secular humanism emerges, then, as a comprehensive nonreligious life stance that incorporates a naturalistic philosophy, a cosmic outlook rooted in science, and a consequentialist ethical system.[1]
