What is true? An introduction to secular humanism
Description
Those who wish to pursue a life of pure reason are often attracted to the movement known as secular humanism. This program explores the movement by presenting several humanist inquiries, including: How and why do religions develop? Can morality exist without religion? Is there a humanist narrative that can take the place of myth? How can public policy become truly rational? The film features explanations from prominent humanist figures-Dr. Paul Kurtz, founder of the Council for Secular Humanism; Dr. Christopher diCarlo, University of Ontario philosophy professor; Toni Van Pelt, women's rights activist; Ronald Bailey, science correspondent for Reason magazine; and others.
