5.0 out of 5 stars 31 chapters devoted to core considerations, October 10, 2001
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Paul Kurtz is the founder of Prometheus Books, the premier publishing house for humanist, freethought, and rationalist publishing. In Skepticism And Humanism: The New Paradigm, Kurtz addresses the fundamental issues of how scientific naturalism, rational thought, and secular humanism contribute to the new global civilization that is emerging today with all its painful adjustments, changes, and challenges. A very strongly recommended acquisition for personal, academic, and community library freethought reading lists and humanist philosophy collections, Skepticism And Humanism comprises 31 chapters devoted to core considerations ranging from "Antiscience Paradigms" to "The Evolution of Contemporary Humanism". Also highly recommended is Toward A New Enlightenment: The Philosophy Of Paul Kurtz.
