Extractions: The great intellectual movement of Renaissance Italy was humanism. The humanists believed that the Greek and Latin classics contained both all the lessons one needed to lead a moral and effective life and the best models for a powerful Latin style. They developed a new, rigorous kind of classical scholarship, with which they corrected and tried to understand the works of the Greeks and Romans, which seemed so vital to them. Both the republican elites of Florence and Venice and the ruling families of Milan, Ferrara, and Urbino hired humanists to teach their children classical morality and to write elegant, classical letters, histories, and propaganda. In the course of the fifteenth century, the humanists also convinced most of the popes that the papacy needed their skills. Sophisticated classical scholars were hired to write official correspondence and propaganda; to create an image of the popes as powerful, enlightened, modern rulers of the Church; and to apply their scholarly tools to the church's needs, including writing a more classical form of the Mass. The relation between popes and scholars was never simple, for the humanists evolved their own views on theology. Some argued that pagan philosophers like Plato basically agreed with Christian revelation. Others criticized important Church doctrines or institutions that lacked biblical or historical support. Some even seemed in danger of becoming pagans. The real confrontation came in the later sixteenth century, as the church faced the radical challenge of Protestantism. Some Roman scholars used the methods of humanist scholarship to defend the Church against Protestant attacks, but others collaborated in the imposition of censorship. Classical scholarship, in the end, could not reform the Church which it both supported and challenged.

Extractions: Old English Middle English Renaissance Metaphysicism ... Home Humanism During Renaissance Occurring during the Renaissance, Humanism encouraged greater care in the study of classical ideas to make literary expression a high priority to the cultured person. Style became a self-conscious preoccupation of poets, and thus the metaphorical aspect of the Renaissance is greatly due to the Humanism movement. The greatest effect of humanism was that people began to have a clear sensible attitude about things, rejecting medieval theological superstition. site design by james liao

http://www.religioustolerance.org/at_ag_hu.htm

Extractions: ATHEISM, AGNOSTICISM, FREE THINKING, HUMANISM, etc. Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. One of the problems in the field of religion and ethical systems is that certain terms (e.g. Atheism, Agnosticism, Humanism) have multiple meanings. Perhaps the most impressive example of confusion over terms are "Witch" and "Witchcraft" which have at least 17 different definitions. Those who have abandoned traditional religious beliefs and practices define themselves in various ways: Agnosticism is not a religion or complete ethical system. It is simply a belief that we cannot prove either the existence or the non-existence of deity; (i.e. of one or more gods, one or more goddesses, or combinations of the above). Many Agnostics believe that we cannot know anything about deity or deities at the present time, but that this could conceivably change in the future. Atheism is also not a religion or a complete ethical system. It has two main definitions: The lack of a belief that deity, in the form of one or more supernatural gods or goddesses, exists. American Atheists define an Atheist to be a person who "

Slavery, Humanism, & The Bible
In 1863, C. F. W. Walther of The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod attacks mancentered theology and discusses the believer's remaining true to his vocation, whether slave or free.
http://www.reclaimingwalther.org/articles/cfw00002.htm

Extractions: A Later Lutheran Theologian About Slavery Foreword. It is an irrefutable fact that humanism has not only supplanted Christianity among a large part of the current population, it has also infected Christian theology in its very inner core, has poisoned and weakened it. We define humanism as the belief in a human ideal, a belief that man within himself has the ability to develop into a state of completeness This humanism is as old as the fallen world itself. As soon as man had fallen away from God, he became aware of the bitter consequences of his sin, of the curse under which God had placed this earth because of him. Despite all that still had remained for man, he felt dissatisfied, unhappy, and wretched. However, instead of recognizing his sin as the cause of his wretchedness, seeking to return to God and His help, he saw the consequences themselves as the cause, and deemed that he could achieve happiness by gaining what this world has to offer. creature

"The Philosophy Of Humanism" By Corliss Lamont
His most famous, and by far most popular work, was a fulllength book originallytitled humanism as a Philosophy , first published in 1949, and since
http://www.corliss-lamont.org/philos8.htm

Extractions: Corliss Lamont was a prolific writer. In his lifetime he authored, co-authored, and edited 22 books, wrote 29 pamphlets in what was known as the "Basic Pamphlets" series, and had literally hundreds of "Letters to the Editor" published in newspapers throughout the United States. A sample of these letters can be found today, preserved for posterity, on The New York Times on the Web His most famous, and by far most popular work, was a full-length book originally titled Humanism as a Philosophy , first published in 1949, and since translated into several languages. Over the years he revised the book six times, the last edition coming out in 1990, when he was 88 years of age. The book is considered to be the standard text on the subject of Humanism. The New York Times called it "Both readable and persuasive." The following is taken from the 'Foreword to the Eighth Edition', by Beth K. Lamont: It is appropriate for a philosophy that breaks the shackles of oppressive orthodoxy to be written in a language that is brave enough to shrug off these same shackles. In light of this liberation, feminists and many Humanists have pointed out the need for an eighth edition of

1. Faith In Humanism
One of man's wrong objects of faith is himself.
http://www.gospelcom.net/rbc/ds/q0603/point1.html

Extractions: We have witnessed a revival of man's belief in man during the past quarter of a century. The 1960s were years of great accomplishments. Diseases like polio were conquered, and we landed a man on the moon. John F. Kennedy, expressing the spirit of the age, said confidently, "All man's problems were created by man and can be solved by man." Humanism rests on the conviction that man's intellect as he uses the scientific method can bring solutions to all his problems and answers to all his questions. Man needs no outside help. He has in himself all the resources he needs. Moreover, humanism says that things will continue to get better and better. Some kind of cosmic force which lies behind evolution guarantees continued progress. Humanistic futurists focus on the year 2000 as the year we will enter a millennial-like state. Their hope in a worldwide paradise is based on a number of factors: Interplanetary travel Ocean exploration Space stations Medical advances Genetic engineering Futuristic housing Global communication Solar energy B. F. Skinner expressed the hope of the futurists when he wrote, "We have not yet seen what man can make of man."
What Is Humanism?
Humanist Society of Metropolitan New York What is humanism? The CorlissLamont Chapter of the American Humanist Association. What is humanism?
http://www.corliss-lamont.org/hsmny/whatishumanism.htm

Extractions: First, Humanism believes in a naturalistic metaphysics of attitude toward the universe that considers all forms of the supernatural as myth; and that regards Nature as the totality of being and as a constantly changing system of matter and energy which exists independently of any mind or consciousness. Second, Humanism, drawing especially upon the laws and facts of science, believes that humans are an evolutionary product of the Nature of which we are a part; that our minds are indivisibly conjoined with the functioning of our brains; and that as an inseparable unity of body and personality we can have no conscious survival after death. Third, Humanism, having its ultimate faith in human beings, believes that we possess the power or potentiality of solving our own problems, through reliance primarily upon reason and scientific method applied with courage and vision.
Existentialism Is A Humanism, Jean-Paul Sarte 1946
JeanPaul Sarte 1946. Existentialism is a humanism. One may understand by humanisma theory which upholds man as the end in-itself and as the supreme value.
http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/sartre/works/exist/sartre.htm

Extractions: HTML Markup: Andy Blunden My purpose here is to offer a defence of existentialism against several reproaches that have been laid against it. First, it has been reproached as an invitation to people to dwell in quietism of despair. For if every way to a solution is barred, one would have to regard any action in this world as entirely ineffective, and one would arrive finally at a contemplative philosophy. Moreover, since contemplation is a luxury, this would be only another bourgeois philosophy. This is, especially, the reproach made by the Communists. cogito From the Christian side, we are reproached as people who deny the reality and seriousness of human affairs. For since we ignore the commandments of God and all values prescribed as eternal, nothing remains but what is strictly voluntary. Everyone can do what he likes, and will be incapable, from such a point of view, of condemning either the point of view or the action of anyone else. La Terre The question is only complicated because there are two kinds of existentialists. There are, on the one hand, the Christians, amongst whom I shall name Jaspers and Gabriel Marcel, both professed Catholics; and on the other the existential atheists, amongst whom we must place Heidegger as well as the French existentialists and myself. What they have in common is simply the fact that they believe that
