A Very Short Introduction

What is humanism? Can there be morality without God? Without religion, are our lives left without meaning? With religious points of view prevalent in the media, those who reject religion, including humanists, often find themselves misunderstood and occasionally misrepresented.

In this Very Short Introduction, Stephen Law looks at the history of humanism and its development as a philosophical view, examines arguments for and against the existence of God, and sets out a humanist position on secularism and education. Exploring humanist approaches to questions of meaning and value, Law develops a positive alternative to traditional religious belief.
