“The best source book on humanism that is currently available. It is especially valuable because Dr Fowler not only deals with the theory of humanism, but its practical applications. She demonstrates how humanists deal with moral questions – such as equality of the sexes, education, abortion, euthanasia, genetics, etc. She also points out that humanists celebrate the rites of passage – all contributing to shared experiences within communities. I am glad to recommend this unique and comprehensive work.” Paul Kurtz, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the State University of New York at Buffalo

“A sympathetic, comprehensive statement of humanism, exploring both its philosophical basis and its practical application living one’s life.” Humanity, British Humanist Association

“It is a pleasure to recommend this book to the reader. Humanism is important in our day but has lacked a recent thorough and scholarly, yet readable text describing it and entering into its spirit.” Sir Hermann Bondi
