“Humanism: an exaltation of freedom, but one limited by our need to exercise it as an integral part of nature and society”

“Humanism . . . is not a single hypothesis or theorem, and it dwells on no new facts. It is rather a slow shifting in the philosophic perspective, making things appear as from a new centre of interest or point of sight.” William James (American Philosopher and Psychologist, leader of the philosophical movement of Pragmatism, 1842-1910)
