THE
PHILOSOPHY
OF HUMANISM
CORLISS LAMONT
EIGHTH EDITION, REVISED
Nearly 50 years has passed since Corliss Lamont wrote
Humanism as a Philosophy. He was steadfast in his faith*
that “this world is all and enough.” He admitted that it
would be comforting to contemplate some heavenly home as
he advanced in age, even delighting in his little joke that in
moments of great good fortune his mother was still influencing
his life and watching over him. But it was a sentimental
tie to days gone by, much like the emotional tug of the
Christmas carols that he loved to sing though he disagreed
intellectually with the lyrics.
Corliss Lamont slipped away peacefully in his own garden
overlooking the Hudson River in April of 1995 at age
93.
He was forever an optimist no matter how dismal the
outlook. He believed fervently that reason and compassion
and concern for his fellow humans would prevail. He loved
to cite instances of progress and enlightenment and longed to
believe that Humanist-generated activities were making an
impact on the world around us. Corliss Lamont was ever an
activist promoting civil liberties and the right to dissent.
You would find him writing or attending demonstrations protesting U. S. military involvement in Central America or
the Persian Gulf, and waving a banner championing the right
of Cuba to survive. He worked toward normalizing our relationship
with Cuba, visiting and encouraging Fidel Castro in
1993................
