From the Back Cover
Does goodness require God? Do we need eternity for meaningful lives?
Should we believe in God without evidence? Peter Cave’s new book,
Humanism, is a welcome guide, with very human answers, to these
questions and many more.
With historical adherents as various as Mark Twain, Einstein, Freud,
Philip Pullman, and Frank Zappa, Humanism’s central quest is to live with
meaning with no need for the supernatural. Cave explores the humanist
approach to religious belief, ethics, and politics, together with moral
dilemmas and those ‘meaning of life’ questions that can keep us awake
at night. Showing how humanists make sense of the world using reason,
experience, and sensitivity, Cave emphasizes that we can, and should,
flourish without God. Lively, provocative, and refreshingly rant-free,
this book is essential reading for all – whether atheist, agnostic, believer,
or of no view – who wish better to understand what it means to be human.
