{"product_id":"code-for-global-ethics-ten-humanist-principles-9781616141721","title":"Code for Global Ethics: Ten Humanist Principles","description":"\u003cp\u003eHumanists have long contended that morality is a strictly human concern and should be independent of religious creeds and dogma. This principle was clearly articulated in the two Humanist Manifestos issued in the mid-twentieth century and in Humanist Manifesto 2000  which appeared at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Now this code for global ethics further elaborates ten humanist principles designed for a world community that is growing ever closer together. In the face of the obvious challenges to international stability-from nuclear proliferation  environmental degradation  economic turmoil  and reactionary and sometimes violent religious movements-a code based on the \"natural dignity and inherent worth of all human beings\" is needed more than ever. In separate chapters the author delves into the issues surrounding these ten humanist principles: preserving individual dignity and equality  respecting life and property  tolerance  sharing  preventing domination of others  eliminating superstition  conserving the natural environment  resolving differences cooperatively without resort to violence or war  political and economic democracy  and providing for universal education. This forward-looking  optimistic  and eminently reasonable discussion of humanist ideals makes an important contribution to laying the foundations for a just and peaceable global community.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67930086113333,"sku":"ByrdShop_1616141727","price":66.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781616141721.jpg?v=1794204652","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/code-for-global-ethics-ten-humanist-principles-9781616141721","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
