-
- Scienze sociali
In chapter 7 of his book, Harari gives his fullest description of the Humanist religion. In modern society, humanity plays the role that God used to play in monotheism. This transition, started in Europe, lead to important changes in the way Ethics, Politics, Art, Economics and Education are approached. On the other hand, all forms of Humanism and Monotheism agree on some points such as murder and theft being wrong. Is it possible to find any solid ground behind these common conclusions? If Humanism loses its organizing power, like so many religions before it, can these common conclusions point to a possible future?
