Humanism

From Neoredemptive

Humanism is a worldview holding that "man is the measure of all things". Accordingly, it is human experience, human knowledge, human wisdom, human success, human passion, human preferences, and the human will which is the basis for all knowing and all acceptable decisions and dialog, and which must at all times shape the priorities of individuals and cultures.

Humanism is philosophically flimsy, because it must presume itself to have any credibility. It can offer no internal argument for reasonably expecting that the human mind and the human experience are truthful guages of reality; it can, at best, assert that they have "proven useful", but utility itself is defined in humanistic terms, which renders the argument circular.

Humanism is fundamentally idolatrous, because it supplants God from His rightful place as the center and measure of all of creation -- see anthropocentrism and theocentrism.
