An Ethical Humanist Philosophy

My Ethical Humanist Philosophy sustains me as I confront life’s existential questions. Who am I? Why am I here? What should I do? Ethical Humanism provides me with a moral foundation and inspires me to promote the worth and dignity of others, realizing that my own moral growth is achieved through relationships with others and working to provide everyone with opportunities to develop their full potential. I will share the building blocks of my Ethical Humanist philosophy and how it inspires me to find meaning and purpose in life.
