In Living Without Religion: Eupraxsophy, renowned humanist philosopher Paul Kurtz examines how individuals can develop a meaningful worldview without traditional religious beliefs. Rather than seeing the absence of religion as a loss, Kurtz argues that human beings can find purpose, morality, and fulfillment through reason, compassion, creativity, and the pursuit of knowledge.
Kurtz introduces the concept of eupraxsophy, a term he coined to describe a practical philosophy that combines wisdom, ethical action, and a commitment to improving the human condition. Drawing from secular humanism, science, and philosophy, he explores questions that have traditionally been addressed by religion, including morality, meaning, happiness, and humanity’s place in the universe.
Written by one of the leading voices in modern humanism, Living Without Religion provides a thoughtful exploration of secular ethics and the possibilities of a life guided by reason and human experience.
