Editorial reviews

This audiobook is an essential tool for understanding the philosophy of humanism. Anyone who's ever wondered what this system is about will be pleasantly surprised with the thoroughness and vastness of information herein. Cave is meticulous and specific, rooting his theories in literary, spiritual, and ethical references. The audio challenges the idea of God, causing the audience to think about what a godless world might be like. Andrea Powell's narration is measured and clear. Her voice engages the listener without provoking him. This is an indispensable introduction to the subject.

Publisher's Summary

Does goodness require God? Do we need eternity for meaningful lives? Should we believe in God without evidence? With historical adherents as various as Mark Twain, Einstein, Freud, Philip Pullman, and Frank Zappa, Humanism’s central quest is to live with meaning with no need for the supernatural. Showing how humanists make sense of the world using reason, experience, and sensitivity, Cave emphasises that we can, and should, flourish without God.

Lively, provocative, and refreshingly rant-free, this audiobook is essential listening for all - whether atheist, agnostic, believer, or of no view - who wish better to understand what it means to be human.

Excellent reading, Good insights

Overall an excellent book. Great beginner’s guide to humanism. Great case against religion but average case for core values and ideologies of humanistic movement.
