Explore the enduring legacy of humanism with Sarah Bakewell's captivating book, Humanly Possible Seven Hundred Years of Humanist Freethinking Enquiry and Hope. This paperback edition invites you to discover if you are already a humanist, even if you have not labelled yourself as such. If you find yourself drawn to literature and the arts, possess a strong moral compass guided by empathy and responsibility rather than strict religious doctrine, or simply believe in the paramount importance of individual lives over abstract political ideologies, then you are part of a rich and ancient tradition of humanist thought. Bakewell meticulously traces this lineage over seven centuries, introducing readers to a diverse array of extraordinary individuals who championed rational inquiry, intellectual freedom, and a hopeful outlook on life. The book is described as fascinating, moving, and funny, offering a vibrant exploration of humanist values that have historically provided solace and direction through challenging times and remain profoundly relevant in our contemporary world. Bakewell delves into what humanism truly is and why it has persisted despite facing opposition from various dogmatic forces. The narrative is filled with compelling ideas, unforgettable personalities, and innovative ways of living, featuring figures from Erasmus to Esperanto, and from anatomists to agnostics, including Zora Neale Hurston and Bertrand Russell. It is a joyful celebration of open-mindedness, optimism, liberty, and the significance of the present moment. The book is presented as a paperback and is priced at €13.75, with free delivery available on orders over €49.95. It is dispatched within 1-2 working days and comes with a 30-day return policy.
