This is an illuminating collection of Paul Kurtz's key writings on humanism and its role as an ethical alternative to religion. The term eupraxsophy was first coined by Paul Kurtz in 1988 to describe a secular worldview that stands in contrast to religion. Drawing upon philosophy, science, and ethics, eupraxsophy offers a thoroughly secular moral vision, which respects the place of human values in the context of the natural world and presents an empirically responsible yet hopeful picture of the human situation and the cosmos in which we abide. "Meaning and Value" brings together Kurtz's key writings about the theory and practice of eupraxsophy in one illuminating volume. Written with eloquence and scope, these essays show how Kurtz's brand of humanism bridges the cultural divide between science and value and provides a genuine ethical alternative to religion.
