Announcement: Humanism: Canadian Perspectives | Humanisme : Perspectives canadiennes
Humanist Canada is delighted to announce the release of Humanism: Canadian Perspectives | Humanisme : Perspectives canadiennes — a bilingual collection that explores what it means to live and think humanistically in Canada.
”Humanism, at its heart, is a deeply personal and profoundly public commitment—to reason, compassion, dignity, and justice. In Canada, these commitments take on a distinctive character, shaped by our histories, our plurality, and our ongoing efforts to reconcile who we have been with who we hope to become. Humanism: Canadian Perspectives is a testament to that ongoing journey. It gathers the voices of Canadian humanists past and present—voices that challenge, provoke, affirm, and inspire. Within these pages, you’ll find personal reflections, historical accounts, ethical provocations, and poetic turns of thought. What you won’t find is dogma. Humanism, as expressed here, embraces questions as much as answers. It invites discussion rather than dictation. And in true Canadian fashion, it is as bilingual, diverse, and layered as the society it seeks to serve”.
— Martin Frith, President, Humanist Canada
