What am I?
Watch Sandi Toksvig introduce the humanist approach to what kind of a thing we are and the questions that raises.
This week you will explore the following questions:
- What kind of a thing is a human being?
- Where do we come from and what conclusions can we draw from this?
- What reasons might we have to believe this life is the only life we have?
- Is there anything special about human beings? Is there anything we can celebrate?
- How does a recognition of our capacities, as well as our limitations, support a humanist understanding of how we should live our lives? What responsibilities do our capabilities bring?
Question: What does it mean to be a human being? Share some of your early thoughts with the other learners in the comments below.
