“Humanistic Icons”
Presented by Michelle Edmunds

Let's talk about people we admire when we view them through a humanistic lens for the work they've done in various areas of life, such as humanitarianism, the arts, entertainment, medicine, education and science. These are people we admire for their humanism even if they may not be humanists and may actually have religious beliefs. We would call these people Humanistic Icons.

  • what have they done or what do they do that shows a humanist outlook?

  • is there any part of their lives or behaviour that shows a distinctly non-humanist side? Is this a problem?

  • how could we envision Humanists working with such people on important societal issues? What would be some key details we would have to work out with them to do so?

More questions to follow soon… Won’t you join us?
