Book Description
The secular age has confronted human beings with a fundamental challenge. While the naturalistic worldview rooted in science has persuasively shown that traditional religious conceptions of the universe are unsustainable, it has so far offered no compelling secular narratives to replace the religious narratives so entrenched in civilization. In the absence of religion, how do thoughtful contemporary individuals find meaning in a secular world? In this book, philosopher Paul Kurtz argues for a new approach that he calls eupraxsophy. Kurtz first coined the term in 1988 to characterize a secular orientation to life that stands in contrast to religion. Derived from three ancient Greek roots, eupraxsophy literally means "good practice and wisdom." Drawing upon philosophy, science, and ethics, eupraxsophy provides a thoroughly secular moral vision, which respects the place of human values in the context of the natural world and presents an empirically responsible yet hopeful picture of the human situation and the cosmos in which we abide. Editor Nathan Bupp has conveniently gathered together Kurtz’s key writings about the theory and practice of eupraxsophy for the first time in this volume. Written with eloquence and scope, these incisive essays show how Kurtz's brand of humanism moves above and beyond the current "new atheism." Eupraxsophy successfully bridges the cultural divide between science and value and provides a genuine and constructive alternative to religion. Bupp’s informative introduction places the concept of eupraxsophy in historical perspective and shows why it is critically important, and relevant, today.

Book Description
What VEHICLE did we climb aboard that carried us so far from our cultural roots? How did the vast changes to society, our social framework and our relationships come about? Most importantly we must ask ourselves, "How could we become so divided? Or are we?" The answers we hear in the public discourse are wholly inadequate to address the scope of the changes. Could anyone in 1990 expected that ABC, NBC, or CBN would identify 53 Genders or that public policy, law and educational principles would be altered to grant special rights to these created genders? Could we have envisioned cities and businesses being destroyed by people claiming to be supportive of the people affected? Many feel the world has been turned upside down; the law is silent with regard to some egregious acts while being openly hostile to seemingly innocent citizens expressing their right of free speech. We have heard over and over these six powerful words: How did our nation get here? This book is designed to explain EXACTLY how we got here. You will become thoroughly aware of the plan that was set in motion, who designed it, when it began and the mechanisms used to move us to their desired end and, finally, where it will take us. You will discover that the separation of Americans by race or wealth or gender is a myth and meet the groups responsible for those myths. After reading The Blueprint for Two Americas, every news report, school board issue or city council agenda will be viewed with the perspective of the Humanist Manifestos in mind. You will be awakened to the destruction that this plan has wrought. Just as a building has a set of blueprints that direct each specialty worker to their part in bringing about the finished product, this social re-engineering has a set of blueprints, and the new society it envisions is nearly complete. This book reveals THE BLUEPRINT FOR THE TWO AMERICAS.
