A statement of the Humanist Ethics  (from the 1973 Humanist Manifesto)

 

 “. . . we affirm that moral values derive their source from human experience. Ethics is autonomous and

situational, needing no theological or ideological sanction. Ethics stems from human need and interest.  . . .

Human life  has meaning because we create and develop our futures. Happiness and the creative realization

of human needs and desires, ... , are continuous themes of humanism.  . . . Reason and  intelligence are the

most effective instruments that humankind possesses.  There is no substitute: neither faith nor passion

suffices in itself. The controlled use of scientific methods, ... must be extended further in the solution of

human problems. . . . critical intelligence, infused by a sense of human caring, is the best method that

humanity has for resolving problems.  Reason should be balanced with compassion and empathy and thewhole person fulfilled."
