Evolutionary Humanism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The book "New Bottles for New Wine" by Julian Huxley, 1957, contains a collection of his essays beginning with "Transhumanism"[1] and ending with "Evolutionary Humanism". In the latter essay, Huxley called for a new religion compatible with science.
'Evolutionary Humanism' is the English language name of a book by Dr Michael Schmidt-Salomon which suggests that evolutionary theory has implications for morality. Schmidt argues that the theory of evolution does not prescribe a particular set of moral values but it does require people to consider their moral principles free from religious beliefs. Belief in evolution should be combined with a modern humanist philosophy.
