Passionate Humanism

Humanism is an approach to life based on reason and our common humanity, recognizing that moral values are properly founded on human nature and experience alone. While it is easy to affirm general humanist principles, it is more difficult to translate our practice into a deeper sense of meaning in our lives. Humanism is broad, and no one can embody every Humanist virtue.

At this event, we will show you how to discover more meaning and camaraderie in your humanism by narrowing your focus and exploring one of the six subcategories of humanist virtue that resonate most with your own personality.

So mark your calendars and get ready to be inspired at Passionate Humanism! We can't wait to see you there.

Hi! I'm Ivan Phillips. I'm passionate about philosophy and science, and I am especially interested in naturalism and rational thinking.

I am the author of several books, including Textbook Rationality and Probability and Purpose.

My academic training was in particle physics where I studies methods for finding differences between matter and anti-matter.

My latest project seeks to create a more meaningful sense of secular identity through a virtue ethics perspective.
