Book Overview

The New Humanism: Studies in Personal and Social Development is a book written by Edward Howard Griggs and first published in 1913. It is a collection of essays that explore the concept of humanism, which emphasizes the importance of human values and ethics in society. Griggs argues that the traditional education system, which focuses on acquiring knowledge and skills, should be complemented by a humanistic education that emphasizes personal and social development. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the role of the individual in society, the importance of social justice and equality, the value of art and culture, and the need for spiritual and moral development. Griggs also discusses the contributions of various thinkers, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Friedrich Nietzsche, to the development of humanism. The New Humanism is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the humanistic philosophy that remains relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
