"Evolutionary Eco-Humanism"
Humanism is too often assumed to be outdatedly anthropocentric. It is therefore crucial to evoke green activism within our own ranks. Fortunately, the originator of an evolutionary form of humanism in the mid 20th century, the late Julian Huxley, can also inspire an ecological form today.
