2.0 out of 5 stars Critique of Humanism by Christian, October 29, 2006
This review is from: Humanism and beyond (Hardcover)
When I borrowed "Humanism and Beyond" from a Unitarian library, I had hoped that it was on the subject of Religious Humanism based on chapter titles such as "Humanism: The Real Religion of Modern Man" and "The Transcendence of Humanism". I stopped reading it, however, as it became apparent to me that this was a Christian critique of Secular Humanism as a substitute for religion.

I read as far as half-way through the book as I was interested in the author's summary of the history of Humanism in chapters such as "Varieties of Humanism" and "The Strength of Humanism". I found this worthwhile although I disagreed with the author's bias. For example, when the author criticized the subjectivism of Humanist ethics, I concluded that he was unfamiliar with the works of atheist philosophers such as Ayn Rand and Julian Huxley.
