Abstract

Humanism is the belief that men through the use of intelligence “can create for themselves without aid from a god or religion a rational civilization in which each person enjoys security and finds cultural outlets for whatever normal human capacities and creative energies he possesses” (1). It has also been defined as a strong faith in people, in all humanity that people can live a worthwhile and dignified life of happiness and purpose using their intelligence and reason rather than depending on a god or religion. It aims at providing adequate grounds for establishing basic human norms and values. It is in fact, indispensable to justify claims for social and political justice on behalf of any oppressed, excluded or marginalized minority
