The Humanist Manifesto II is a stirring document outlining a philosophy for survival and fulfillment in our time. Signed by Andrei Sakharov, B.F. Skinner, Corliss Lamont, Betty Friedan, Sir Julian Huxley, Sidney Hook, Jacques Monod, Gunnar Myrdal, and 275 other distinguished leaders of thought and action, it has been hailed as a classic.
Publication of the Manifesto has provoked world-wide debate over humanist recommendations for the future of humankind in the areas of religion and ethics and over humanist views on the meaning of life, civil liberties and democracy, the right to suicide, abortion, and divorce, euthanasia, sexual freedom, worldwide ecological and economic planning, and the building of world community.
Humanist Manifesto II supplements the influential Humanist Manifesto I, which was signed by 34 authors and educators, including John Dewey, and had a major impact on religion when it was published in 1933. Here are the complete texts of both historic Manifestos, published for the first time together.
