Does life have meaning if one rejects belief in God? This book
responds affirmatively to that question. Paul Kurtz, America's
leading secular humanist, provides a powerful defense of the
humanist alternative, rejecting both religious spirituality and
nihilism. In this inspirational book, Kurtz outlines the basic
virtues of the secular humanist outlook. These virtues include
"courage," not simply to be or to survive, but to overcome and
"become"; that is, to fulfill our highest aspirations and ideals in
the face of obstacles. The two other virtues Kurtz identifies are
"cognition" (reason and science in establishing truth) and "moral
caring" (compassion and benevolence in our relationships with
others.) Kurtz offers an optimistic appraisal of the human prospect
and outlines a philosophy both for the individual and the global
community.
