Humanism

Humanism is a philosophical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of human species, both individually and collectively. The meaning of the term humanism has fluctuated according to the successive intellectual movements which have identified with it. Generally, however, humanism refers to a perspective that affirms some notion of human freedom and progress. It 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. This co-insides with the idea of a world government, which would serve as a common political authority for all humanity, such as the idea of world federalism.

[[File:Humanismpix.png]] 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.

Principles

 * [[File:Equality.png]] Egalitarianism: All people come from the same place and need to be treated with fairness and equality. Humanists must actively uphold these standards and seek to help their fellow man.


 * [[File:Individual.png]] Individualism: Humanism supports Individualist beliefs, believing in the [[File:Liberty.png]] Liberty and self-rights of the individual.


 * [[File:Secular.png]] Secularism: Humanism has always proven itself to be a (usually) secular ideology every time. In fact that is a natural component within. Humanism believes that scientific knowledge and evidence in the real world matters more over the simple belief in "supernatural entities".


 * [[File:Welf.png]] Welfare: Humanism is moral; morality is a way of humans improving our lives. Humanists engage in practical action to improve personal and social conditions, that though welfare. In fact, many [[File:Lib.png]] liberal and [[File:Socdem.png]] social democratic are practicing this.
