Humanly Possible: Seven Hundred Years of Humanist Freethinking, Enquiry and Hope

​Humanly Possible introduces us to some humanist thinkers and asks what humanism is and why it has flourished for so long, despite opposition from fanatics, mystics and tyrants. It is a book brimming with ideas, personalities and experiments in living - from Erasmus to Esperanto, from anatomists to agnostics, It joyfully celebrates open-mindedness, optimism, freedom and the power of the here and now - humanist values which have helped steer us through dark times in the past, and which are just as urgently needed in our world today.

(Sarah Bakewell is not a member of IW Humanists, but this was the best place to post a link to her excellent new book.  During April 2023 there are readings available on BBC Sounds)
