Bakewell, Sarah
Humanly possible the great humanist experiment in living Sarah Bakewell - 454 Seiten Illustrationen 20 cm
If you are reading this, you may already be a humanist. Even if you don't know know it. Do you love literature and the arts? Do you have a strong moral compass despite not being formally religious? Do you simply believe that individual lives are more important than grand political visions? If any of these apply, you are part of a long tradition of humanist thought. In Humanly Possible, Sarah Bakewell asks what humanism is and why it has flourished for so long. By introducing us to adventurous lives and ideas of famous humanists throughout 700 years of history, she shows how the humanist values that helped steer us through dark times in the past are just as urgently needed in our world today.
