Studies in Humanism and Atheism The Institute for Humanist Studies is a think tank that understands humanism to be “a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism and other supernatural beliefs, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.” The Institute is committed to production of information through publications and other outlets and the encouragement of practices meant to address the socio-political, economic and cultural challenges facing communities in the United States and within a global context. Although numerous scholars and activists have written academic and popular texts meant to unpack and advocate for humanism and atheism as life orientations, what is needed at this point is clear and consistent attention to the various dimensions of humanist and atheists thought and practice. This is the type of focused agenda that this book series makes possible. Committed to discussions that include but extend well beyond the United States, books in the series—meant for specialists and a general readership—offer new approaches to and innovative discussions of humanism and atheism that take into consideration the socio-cultural, political, economic, and religious dynamics informing life in the twenty-first century.
