Educating Humanists (eBook, PDF)

The Challenge of Sustaining Communities in the Contemporary Era
Redaktion: Hart, William David

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This volume explores the challenges that humanists face from hostile religious traditionalists on its right flank and from the political antihumanism, which is often postsecular, of critics on its left flank. Given this dual challenge, how can "secular" humanism educate, sustain, and reproduce itself?

William David Hart is the Margaret W. Harmon Professor of Religious Studies at Macalester College, USA. He is the author of four monographs including The Blackness of Black: Key Concepts in Critical Discourse (2020) and Edward Said and the Religious Effects of Culture (2000).
