| Abstract | An impassioned plea that we turn to ourselves, not religion, if we want to answer Socrates' age-old question: what is the best kind of life to live? Norman deals with big questions such the environment, Darwinism and 'creation science, ' euthanasia and abortion, and then argues the it is ultimately through the human capacity for art, literature and the imagination that humanism is a powerful alternative to religious belief. |
