Re: [escepticos] Lo he recibido esta ma ñana.
Efectivamente Xan.
Para más información sobre el tema ver:
http://www.el-esceptico.org/n7/ed7.htm y
http://filosofia.org/cod/c1999hum.htm en la que aparece recogido el
Manifiesto Humanista 2000, que en su momento tradujo al castellano y
presentó en sociedad ARP-Sociedad para el Avance del Pensamiento
Crítico.
Naturalmente este Humanismo, al que pertenecía Asimov (y que un
modesto servidor suscribe personalmente), no tiene nada que ver con el
del Partido Humanista y sus clubes de meditadores "intrascendentales".
Por cierto, en http://filosofia.org/cod/c1999hum.htm existe un
formulario con el que quien lo desee puede adherirse al mismo.

paugq en ono.com dixit:

Quizas la explicacion esta en que el humanismo del Partido Humanista
no tiene que ver con el humanismo de Asimov.

Quotations from Famous Humanists
Do you know what a humanist is? Perhaps you are one yourself. If so,
you're in great company!
Humanists recognize that it is only when people feel free to think
for themselves, using reason as their guide, that they are best
capable of developing values that succeed in satisfying human needs
and serving human interests. * ISAAC ASIMOV - scientist, author, and
past president of the American Humanist Association.
It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological
concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some
will or goal outside the human sphere.... Science has been charged
with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical
behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and
social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would
indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of
punishment and hope of reward after death. * ALBERT EINSTEIN -
scientist, Nobel Prizewinner in physics, originator of the theory of
relativity.
When we speak of equality, of women and men, of Blacks and Whites, of
all the world's people, we are talking about humanism. * GLORIA
STEINEM - founder of Ms.magazine, Humanist Pioneer Awardee.
Humanism, in all its simplicity, is the only genuine spirituality. *
ALBERT SCHWEITZER - accepting the Nobel Peace Prize.
Humanism is a philosophy of joyous service for the greater good of
all humanity, of application of new ideas of scientific progress for
the benefit of all. * LINUS PAULING - scientist, Humanist of the Year
in 1961, Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1954, Nobel Peace Prize in 1962.
Our nation's founders saw a free press and an educated citizenry as
the twin pillars of democratic health. But we no longer live in their
world of numerous small, independent presses. These days, the vast
majority of Americans get their news from corporately-owned
information monoliths and from their local newspapers, most of them
corporate subsidiaries as well. That is why humanism and the Humanist
magazine are so important. Won't you join us today? * KURT VONNEGUT -
author, lecturer, philanthropist and honorary president of the
American Humanist Association.
