- This video lecture discusses the meaning of humanism.
Humanism is a philosophical stance which affirms the fact that humans have dignity and worth and that they are capable of discovering truths about the world and humanity’s place within it purely by appealing to reason and scientific method. In humanism, there is also the emphasis on faith in humanity and a concern for building a more humane and just society.

PHILO-notes
It’s helpful to distinguish humanism and secular humanism. Or Aristotelian humanism, Erasmus’s humanism, and contemporary humanism.
yeah, we failed to do that. we were just after of the basic understanding of humanism. thanks Dr. Anderson for the feedback. cheers!
And religious humanism as well.
Thank you for posting this comment! It allows those interested to go and research further ☺🙏
I don't even know where to start with these annoying topics om out
Dope video dude. You converted me into an atheist. I'm so glad you let me know that I have no purpose in life. Dankeshoon.
agreed
SAME i feel so one with nature now i wanna climb a tree 🥰🍀
so for a humanist everything is subjective not objective? ah thats why most humanists were genocidal maniacs like stalin got it, seriously i disagree with a lot and im sure that humanists cant even answer some questions i have like if this life is so meaningless then humanists should unalive them HOWEVER if they give a reason then its bcs of their own selfish reasons bcs all humanists have their own meaning of life
It's our lesson in History classes. Along with the Renaissance period.
Oh, glad to know that, Leslie. All the best!

Humanism is loving abstract humanity instead of concrete individuals.
Finally, something that makes sense to me. I felt guilty not feeling the same as the church, I never felt life was predetermined and felt that was an awful way to view the world. I never saw things in black and white but with a ton of gray area, to be explored and not generalized.
well explained
Thank you this helped me with my home work
Glad it helps, Mob Zy. Cheers!

I just wanna make this point that being non-religious is not synonymous with being a naturalist, because it just means that you don't belong to any particular religion. However, a non-religious person can still subscribe to new-age spirituality, and also believe in mystical things.
Your videos often help me in syllabus 😙
Glad to know it helps, Kashish. Best wishes!

Thank you
No worries, mate.

Is there an association or group to be a member of Humanism?
So if I were to like a make a school back then what would it be like to show humanism?
Simple definition
Can you give me some fun fact or trivia about this topic for my reporting in our school tomorrow? Please.
Is humanism therefore a belief system (0.52) that denounces religion? Also, do you have to have a meaning to your life (2.48) to be a humanist?
personally, I believe humanists are having a meaningful life too
@@PHILOnotes Is that a yes or a no?
@@ken4975 I’m a bit late here, but I don’t think humanism is quite like religion or a belief system, since every humanist has their own goals, own personal rules and own moral code. No humanist is quite the same, and so in my opinion, trying to label people like humanists isn’t quite right. And most humanists as far as I’m aware don’t believe in religion, but understand that it gives comfort to people to believe in something bigger than themselves, and so respect other peoples beliefs.
If you ask me, if everyone in the world believed in humanist ideals like wanting to improve the lives of everyone around them, and living life for the sake of living, then the world would be way more peaceful.
@@thelegend_doggo1062 I think I see. Every humanist has their own beliefs but a common goal?
@@ken4975 basically. You put it way better than I did.
Totally forgot to mention type of humanists
0:27 I heard chicken :)
yeah, sorry for that
@@PHILOnotes anyway, thanks for this video. Its pretty great and helps me alot.
Me too
🤣🤣😀🤣😃🤣🤣😁
@@rodrugstv22 thanks Richard
Kinda like existentialism
Another word for control of a people in the guise of kindness Same as other ism's throughout history. Fools manifesto. Search deeper within instead of what you are force-fed
Thanks for sharing your thoughts @Mrs. H

Reasoning you mean that brought us the reasoning of World War I World War II and eventually World War III this will be reasoning
Yuman/Yumanist-
hmmm...
@@PHILOnotes sorry it was funny- but great videooo~
@@leetheeel5 It's all right, Emma. We admit we are overcame sometimes by our own incompetence. Thank you though. Cheers!
I’m a humanist like a mf
I can believe that based on your statement.
The quotation marks are around the wrong words. It should be ...idea of a "meaningful life" as part of devine plan... and. The only purpose or meaning in life is the one created by ourselves.
Thanks!
"Let us eat and drink and be merry for tomorrow we die" is the worldview of the modern age Isaiah 22:13.
Awake to righteousness and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame 1 Corinthians 15:34.
Thanks
You got it man...

I don't subscribe to a religion anymore, but I cannot be a humanist either because I have never had a faith in the "goodness of humanity".
I have never been that gullible!
humanism is dangerous
I just realised the humanist symbol in this video looks like the bottom of Slendrina's face.
oh I see
Humanism has no grounding for it's normative imperatives
yeah. thanks Alfonso.
It's the closest thing the world has to a better way
@@richardgould3615 wrong islam is the best way
"yumanist"
No comment.
Unlike humanists, normal, extraordinary and happy people find their purpose, set their goals and achieve it instead.
So at the very end of the video, she states that in humanism "people make their own purpose in life, set their own goals, and give meaning to their own life." The video didnt do a thorough job explaining IMO. Humanists don't find meaning from an outside "divinity" such as a spirit or god figure.
@@gypsymoon710 humanists NEED to find the outside being tho like i did to have objective morals and many other things that they can all agree on like us muslims
I’m amazed at how people keep saying that humanism isn’t a religion. They say it’s a “philosophical” position that uplifts humans above all else.
Not only is that the epitome of religion, it’s the epitome of self worship.
Humanism is the religion of self worship. That is why so many people are drawn to that show The Chosen. They keep saying “Oh I love that show because it highlights Jesus’s human aspects”. What they “see” is a human who is God, not a God who was human.
How is its self-worship when besides the rights of individuals, it seeks to affirm our collective rights as well and is an empathetic world view, generally speaking. How isn't thinking that we are the center of the universe not being self-worhship as in Abrahamic religions though?
@@Nickers19 i didnt understand that at all type better, its self-worship bcs the ideology tells humans to choice their own morals based on their own desires
So humanism is full of contradictions then?
kinda
How?
Humanism is basically *a non-religious led* world view, with a focus on humans morals i.e. not divine or supernatural edicts.
However Religious people can be Humanist, with the focus of the human morals first and foremost above their "god" beliefs.
There are no contradictions in humanism, the only contradictions I see is religion. All religions.
@@mobiletaskforceepsilon1172 you're either blind or you just see the facade of religions. Maybe their fundamentalist, PseudoReligions, cult like counter parts.
@@AdmiralBison yet you cant even aswer where human morals come from but i can and for every humanist moral changes
Denying all the aspects of human faculties and choosing only a few and calling it humanism seems a bit rich.
Despite all the sciences, no one on earth can be certain that existence is a purposeless natural process. Go study philosophy of science. What science has found about these changes is largely speculative yet they're advertised as facts by famous, highly regarded, yet malicious people.
Thanks Splendid Truth. Cheers!
Humanism is the illusion of a world without God.
It's not an illusion, it's a fact.
@@mobiletaskforceepsilon1172 a Fact really?
No it's an illusion
@@mobiletaskforceepsilon1172 a illusion for you bcs youre so deluded that humanism made you think that youre living in a illusion
How sad
She has lost me already at 0:27 with that over-arching statement about the "fact" about humanism by attempting to set the stage for the no-minds that will follow her dialogue. Very unfair.
There is spiritualism. It is for the believers and the non believers. When the crunch comes; everyone will pray. I assure you.
hmmmm...
@@PHILOnotes accept your failure mister.. not 'hmmm'
What an empty purposeless philosophy. There is so much more to life that you are missing.
Humanism is close to nihilism and existentialism, that may explain why.
Soooooo.......theyre athiests.
Sorry! Can;'t stand computer voice overs.
Ugh! The mispronunciation of the core word Human, made this unwatchable.
Humanism sounds pointless.
