A HUMANIST NARRATIVE
Issued Date: 9 Oct 2013
Abstract
I have proposed the language of narrative as a vehicle for explaining and promoting the values and concerns of humanists. It is a different language than that of idealism, empiricism, and theological supernaturalism. In the language of the humanist narrative the old metaphors contained in a supernatural dualistic view must be relinquished, for they no longer make sense, nor do they work. The view of the world in the humanist narrative is non-dualistic, and it is “naturalistic” in a pragmatic sense that is limited to an understanding of language in which both culture and nature are viewed as linguistic constructs.
