Yes Jackson. I enjoyed this. Particularly Paul’s points about “humanism” becoming more and more so “naturalism” and “ethical naturalism.” It would be difficult to sway self described humanists to accept such a new word label. But its seems that there is something of a better “brand” quality in the term “ethical naturalist” than there is in “humanist.” I can’t think of how many people have told me that they thought I worshiped humans or placed humans at the center of the world just because of the sound of the word “humanist.” It is always an ordeal to explain humanism, to people who have never heard of it, as a philosophy that evolved out of enlightenment values, etc.
