Humanists
I went to visit some humanists and found a few philosophy grads, I think the Humanist stand is against the principles of 'the open society' BUT it maybe a good place for philosophical people to find friends, and argue, about god, LOL

I was going to join but I felt they were discriminating against animals.

Except that they discriminate against inanimate objects.

I know that This is very old post but I want to say that Humanists are atheists and agnostics who make sense of the world using reason, experience and shared human values.

Seriously speaking, a god or God could fit that description.
Re: Humanists
I used to belong to a Humanist group which ran a sub group for philosophy. Both groups were philosophical and generally well informed Then I left Edinburgh and came to live here where the tradition is commercial not intellectual .

Re: Humanists
Humanism = human narcissism (like there's any other).

Seriously? I think it's a fairly reasonable statement.thedoc wrote:Are animals capable of narcissism? and how would you know?Dalek Prime wrote:Humanism = human narcissism (like there's any other).
Re: Humanists
I thought it was a reasonable question, are any other animals, other than humans, capable of narcissism? Or is narcissism strictly a human fallacy.Dalek Prime wrote:Seriously?

Re: Humanists
Perhaps dolphins, but aren't Daleks narcissistic by nature. And what about other animals? can we be sure that they are not aware of their own beauty?Dalek Prime wrote:Perhaps dolphins.

Re: Humanists
Let's ask them. Do they understand the concept of narcissism? Or beauty? I prefer not to assign human traits to lesser consciousness, unless they begin communicating their understanding. If I'm wrong, they can always bring it up at the next meeting.thedoc wrote:Perhaps dolphins, but aren't Daleks narcissistic by nature.
