The basic idea of humanism is the improvable quality of life; that we can do good things, that there are things worth doing because they're good things to do, and that clear-eyed empiricism can help us figure out how to do them.
Temeljna ideja humanizma je rast kvalitete života; da možemo raditi dobre stvari, da postoje stvari koje vrijedi raditi jer su dobre i da nam bistro empirijsko gledanje može pomoći otkriti način kako ih raditi.
