"Humankind" by Rutger Bregman

February's book is "Humankind" by Rutger Bregman

We will meet in Room Bee 1 in Beeston Library to discuss the book. Please come along even if you haven't read it: it's an occasion to discuss humanist issues and meet other people interested in humanism.

For this and other humanist events, go the the homepage of Nottingham Humanists.

Description:
Humankind argues that people are decent at heart and proposes a new worldview based on the corollaries of this optimistic view of human beings. It argues against ideas of humankind's essential egotism and malevolence. The book engages in amulti-disciplinary study of historical events, an examination of scientific studies, and philosophical argumentation in order to advance Bregman's opinion that, this outlook is more realistic compared to its negative counterpart.

The book for the following meeting will be:
"Humanly Possible" by Sarah Bakewell

I look forward to meet you all.
