Even if I am a man full of errors, give me allowance allowed to present the following philosophic ideas : I am very unhappy about the mental distances between people because eventually the sum of common goals represent an anchor for our coexistence. This is valid for every group of people. Within these values every one has made an ordination. And here it begins to reach a critical point: Depending on life experience, feelings and mental capability everyone has established different priorities independently from being materialist or believing in God. The deeper the thought about these values are, the more systematic they can be arranged to each other. This sounds banal but it is not, because who does not dare to think, rejects responsibility and becomes dependent in his fate on other people, who might have dangerously different idols than oneself.

Humanism General Information Humanism, an educational and philosophical outlook that emphasizes the personal worth of the individual and the central importance of human values as opposed to religious belief, developed in Europe during the Renaissance, influenced by the study of ancient Greek and Latin literature and philosophy. Humanism thus began as an educational program called the humanities, which inculcated those ancient secular values which were consistent with Christian teachings. The Renaissance humanists were often devout Christians, but they promoted secular values and a love of pagan antiquity. Renaissance Humanism BELIEVE Religious Information Source web-site Our List of 1,000 Religious Subjects E-mail The 14th-century humanists had relied mainly on Latin. In the early 15th century, however, classical Greek became a major study, providing scholars with a fuller, more accurate knowledge of ancient civilization. Included were many of the works of Plato, the Homeric epics, the Greek tragedies, and the narratives of Plutarch and Xenophon. Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459), a chancellor of Florence and papal secretary, discovered important classical texts, studied Roman ruins and inscriptions, and created the study of classical archaeology. Poggio also criticized the corruption and hypocrisy of his age in biting satire and well-argued dialogues. Lorenzo Valla (c. 1407-57), one of the greatest classical scholars and text editors of his age, proved that the Donation of Constantine, a medieval document that supported papal claims to temporal authority, was a forgery.

The Apostle Paul in Ephesus (Acts 19) and about 12 believers, in the space of just two years, turned this centre of pagan worship upside down. They caused such a disturbance that their actions led the local trades' people to riot because the numbers of people who were becoming Christians threatened their livelihood. In many parts of the Roman Empire, Christians willingly died for their belief in a Saviour who set captives free and changed lives that were formally enslaved in all manner of destructive and fruitless human pursuits. The Church was a force that fomented change. The followers of Jesus Christ were dangerous people. They upset kingdoms, they battled principalities (both natural and spiritual) they took the good news of the Gospel seriously and set about changing things.

Bibliography Abstract This paper sets out to defend human genetic engineering with a new bioethical approach, post-humanism, combined with a radical democratic political framework. Arguments for the restriction of human genetic engineering, and specifically germ-line enhancement, are reviewed. Arguments are divided into those which are fundamental matters of faith, or "bio-Luddite" arguments, and those which can be addressed through public policy, or "gene-angst" arguments. The four bio-Luddite concerns addressed are: Medicine Makes People Sick; There are Sacred Limits of the Natural Order; Technologies Always Serve Ruling Interests; The Genome is Too Complicated to Engineer. I argue that these are matters of faith that one either accepts or rejects, and that I reject.

91. From Behaviorism To Humanism: Incorporating Self-direction In Learning Concept From behaviorism to humanism Incorporating selfdirection in learningconcepts into the instructional design process. In HB Long http://www-distance.syr.edu/sdlhuman.html

From behaviorism to humanism: Incorporating self-direction in learning concepts into the instructional design process New ideas about self-directed learning Roger Hiemstra and Ralph G. Brockett[1] However, we have found that many of our beliefs and actions run counter to the "expert" or directed instruction role assumed by some teachers, trainers, and administrators who work with adult learners. It is our observation that many people have difficulty accepting some of the humanistic philosophical underpinnings crucial for self-directed learning success. They may even accept certain humanistic beliefs but feel compelled to employ a more directed instructional approach because of organizational or traditional expectations about the teaching and learning process. Regardless of who is involved or the philosophical framework at work, the design of instruction for adults normally involves an analysis of learning needs and goals and subsequent development of a delivery system or approach for meeting such needs. It includes such activities as developing learning materials, designing instructional activities, determining techniques for involving learners, facilitating learning activities, and carrying out some evaluation efforts. In both the institutions noted above (our respective institutions), faculty in the mentioned programs or departments are engaged in the design of instruction on almost a daily basis. Many students take courses in both areas and faculty often serve together on dissertation committees. Yet, there often are real differences between these two groups in the way the instructional process is viewed.

Secular humanism: What is it? Secular Humanism is a secular ethical philosophy that emphasizes a world view based upon naturalism: the belief that the physical world or nature is all that exists or is real. As such, it emphasizes scientific inquiry and rejects revealed knowledge as well as theistic morality. Secular Humanism is increasingly influential in politics, ethics and morals, as well as education. There are several core documents that state the philosophy of secular humanism that can be found at the secular humanism http://www.SecularHumanism.org site. The Humanist Manifesto I completed in 1933 was signed by 34 influential people including Anton J. Carlson, John Dewey, John H. Dietrich, R. Lester Mondale, Charles Francis Potter, Curtis W. Reese, and Edwin H. Wilson. In 1973 the Humanist Manifesto II was introduced and in 1980 it was succeeded by the Secular Humanist Declaration There are a number of notable areas of belief that characterize secular humanism. These are outlined below along with examples of public figures implementing those beliefs in a public manner.

94. The Seeds And Roots Of Communism A Catholic perspective on communism and humanism and the miracle of Fatima by Msgr. E.K. Fulkerson. http://www.geocities.com/sanape_1/FULKERSON.html

The Seeds and Roots of Communism By Reverend Monsignor Edward Kenyon Fulkerson a great priest in the Houston area, a true warrior for Christ the King, Eternal Rest, Grant unto them O Lord, and may Thy perpetual light shine upon them The intellectual development of the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries in Europe which sought to base all art and learning on the culture of ancient Greece and Rome is known as Humanism. Humanism opposed itself to Scholasticism, the philosophy that flourished during the Middle Ages and which is personified in St. Thomas Aquinas. Scholasticism might be defined as that spirit whereby an endeavor is made to bring into harmony faith and reason. It is a didactic method. It was Humanism that helped pave the way for the Reformation. For the symptom of the Renaissance was Humanism, and the Renaissance was in fact the precursor and then the support of the Reformation, giving license to the human self in its natural and sensible activities as Protestantism did in the spiritual order; man’s eyes were turned from God to man. The spirit of the Renaissance ruled the intellectual world until the strong reactions of Romanticism, Physical Science and neothomism in the nineteenth century. Therefore, the trend of modern history begins at the renaissance. Of course, what has happened in our modern world is wholly different from what was dreamed of by the first humanists and fathers of the Renaissance. They could hardly foresee that the consequences of their new philosophy, of their break with the spiritual depth and sense of the middle ages, of their creative initiative, would be in the nineteenth century, with its machines, its materialism and its positivism. Its socialism and its anarchism, and the twentieth century with its two world wars, and Communism.

What is Secular Humanism? A ccurate definitions are difficult to come by. When one hears the word "humanism," several different ideas may come to mind. For example, Mr. Webster would define humanism something like this: "any system or mode of thought or action in which human interests, values, or dignity predominate."[1] Others may think of a liberal arts education. Both of these are well and good, but what we are seeking is a definition of the worldview known as Secular Humanism. First, Secular Humanism is a worldview . That is, it is a set of beliefs through which one interprets all of reality - something like a pair of glasses. Second, Secular Humanism is a religious worldview.[2] Do not let the word "secular" mislead you. The Humanists themselves would agree that they adhere to a religious worldview. According to the : Humanism is "a philosophical, religious, and moral point of view."[3] Not all humanists, though, want to be identified as "religious," because they understand that religion is (supposedly) not allowed in American public education. To identify Secular Humanism as a religion would eliminate the Humanists' main vehicle for the propagation of their faith. And it is a faith, by their own admission. The

HUMANISM UNMASKED AS DEFINED BY JOHN DEWEY, THE FATHER OF MODERN EDUCATION Humanism is as old as the garden of Eden 1 , but few know what it is. Men have written on the subject since Plato and Aristotle, but still most people only think it means 'kind' or 'humane'. A better definition is required if we are to understand the forces moving in the world systems today. John Dewey gave us that definition when he signed the Humanist Manifesto. 3 That definition expressed by the Humanist Manifesto was given to us by no less than the man who has been called the father of modern American education. He influenced teachers in Russia, Asia, and Europe as well.4 We should take note of the words of such an influential man. The Humanist Manifesto reveals a large picture of intent for education which Dewey shaped and of our government which has been taught by the system of education. John Dewey had great influence in the National Education Association and reshaping America's schools. He has had a profound influence of generations of philosophers. No one who leads or teaches others should be ignorant of purposes laid out in the Humanist Manifesto nor of the significance of those others who signed or agreed with the document.

The Center for Religious Humanism is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering a deeper engagement between faith and culture. In a time that is overshadowed by the politicization of everyday life, where the "culture wars" pit ideologues from Left and Right against one another, there is an urgent need to restore the tradition of religious humanism. The term "religious humanism" suggests a tension between two opposed terms—between heaven and earth. But it is a creative, rather than a deconstructive, tension. Perhaps the best analogy for understanding religious humanism comes from the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation, which holds that Jesus was both human and divine. This paradoxical meeting of these two natures is the pattern by which we can begin to understand the many dualities we experience in life: flesh and spirit, nature and grace, God and Caesar, faith and reason, justice and mercy. Religious humanism is characterized by a stance that balances commitment to the historic truths of biblical religion with openness to the world;

Humanism: An Introduction by Nicolaa de Bracton of Leicester In contrast, the early humanists espoused a return to study of the original texts, rather than a reliance on the glosses and commentaries produced by the scholasticists. This break was by no means clearmany of the later humanists continued to admire and make use of the works of scholastic scholars, while forging ahead with their own examination of the sources. "medieval" model of the scholar a monkish figure who retired from the world with his books rather than Petrarch's earlier belief in an active use of scholarship in civic life. Petrarch gradually retired from life as well, and in fact became more and more "medieval" in his outlookthough he never abandoned his reliance on classical sources as a model for writing, he turned more and more to traditional forms of scholarship, such as biblical commentary, in later life. "pagan" classics of antiquity, humanists were quick to apply their methods to biblical scholarship. One of the ways in which the spirit of humanism was expressed was in a rise in appreciation for the artifacts of the past. Indeed, the early humanists were the ones who invented the terms "Middle Ages" and "Renaissance."
