<p>This book<i> </i>brings together a diverse and wide-ranging group of thinkers to forge unsuspecting conversations across the humanist and non-humanist divide. How should humanism <i>relate </i>to a non-humanist world? What distinguishes “humanism” from the “non-humanist?” Readers will encounter a wide-range of perspectives on the terms bringing together this volume, where “Humanism” “Non-Humanist” and “World” are not taken for granted, but instead, tackled from a wide variety of perspectives, spaces, discourses, and approaches. This volume offers both a pragmatic <i>and</i> scholarly account of these terms and worldviews allowing for multiple points of analytical and practical points of entry into the unfolding dialogue between humanism and the non-humanist world. In this way, this volume is attentive to both theoretically and historically grounded inquiry and applied practical application.</p>

“In my decade-plus editing the Humanist magazine I've come to know many humanists and humanist strains of thought, and what I've learned is that nothing human is truly foreign--whether the humanist wants to admit it or not. Does humanism contradict itself? Very well, it does. It (we) contain multitudes. Dr. Monica Miller has compiled a diverse group of thinkers who assert that a living humanism must monitor its own vital signs. They assume nothing—not even that the world is non-humanist—but entertain, examine, and challenge the humanist project for its own good.” (Jennifer Bardi, Editor-in-Chief, The Humanist, USA)<p></p>
