Belief in Reality

 
     "Humanism is a realistic philosophy. Humanists recognize the existence of moral dilemmas and the need for careful consideration of immediate and future consequences in moral decision making." What is Humanism Frederick Edwards
     "Humanism believes in the widest possible development of art and the awareness of beauty including the appreciation of Nature's loveliness and splendor, so that the aesthetic experience may become a pervasive reality in people's lives" A Definition of Humanism Corliss Lamont
  "Humanism is a philosophy for the here and now. Humanists regard human values as making sense only in the context of human life rather than in the promise of a supposed life after death." A Definition of Humanism Corliss Lamont
