When is World Humanist Day?
Wednesday June 21stWORLD HUMANIST DAY
Every year, World Humanist Day is commemorated on June 21. It's a way to spread word and combat misinformation about humanism as a philosophical life position and a way to influence change in the world.
Humanism was first described as "humanitas" in the Encyclopedia Britannica. To the fullest extent, it represented human virtue in all its facets.. "Understanding, benevolence, compassion, mercy," the word implied, but also more assertive characteristics such as fortitude, discernment, prudence, eloquence, and even love of honor were implied. The term "understanding, benevolence, compassion, mercy" were among the list's key words. Accordingly, the possessor of human rights would not be limited to merely a sedentary and isolated scholar, or a man of letters, but it was also a participant in active life."
Find out and attend a local lecture or discussion on or about June 21. The global, such as talks about the Humanists International's global, to individual, such as open forums where people discuss their personal paths to Humanism, can all be discussed.
