CONTENT FOR ISSUE 234
EDITORIAL: Humanism is a Beacon of Hope in Troubled Times / Simon Parcher
Historically, humanist principles fuelled the Renaissance, inspired democratic revolutions, and championed the development of universal human rights.Artificial Intelligence and Humanism in Action / Dr. Christopher DiCarlo
Artificial Super Intelligence (or ASI). This is a type of intelligence that would be to us as we are to ants. To us, it would appear God-like in scope, power, and comprehension.Humanism, Enlightenment Values and the US Descent into Fascism / Glen T Martin
There is a path of truth open to human beings to which nihilists and fascists appear blind and which many humanists have ignored.The Dissolution of Environmentalism / Lorna Salzman
Most people haven’t noticed the dissolution of environmentalism, nor would they have a clue as to why or when it happened.The Peace School’s Call for Promoting Humanist Education / Dr. Nasser Yousefi
Humanistic education is a pedagogical approach founded on respect for human dignity and the diverse individual, social, cultural, and group differences of all learners.Henry Beissel’s Celebration of Life / Arlette Francière
An extraordinary and momentous evening—I fell in love with the man and the poet all at once.On Humiliation / Janet Keeping
To say a person’s dignity has been wounded may leave many confused and thus unconvinced. To point out that, and how, they have been humiliated, may well prove much more effective.Stoicism Old and New / Trudy Govier
Stoicism is an ancient philosophy that enjoys extraordinary popularity today. It is estimated to have millions of followers.The Weathering Body in a Burning World / Lesley Machon & Dr. Chrisine Gibson
Humanist practices are rooted in the belief that every human being holds inherent dignity and that we are not separate from nature but embedded within it.Anti-Semitism, the Left and 1967 / Lloyd Hawkeye Robertson
In 1947, the United Nations offered a “two state” solution…. The Jews accepted the plan and named their portion “Israel.” The Arabs refused the two-state solution, invaded and lost.The Poetry Corner: HP234 / Monique Montgomery
I am delighted to present you with a Henry Beissel poem of the poet’s own choosing, chosen before his passing, to represent his work.
