Homaranismo - An outline

Homaranismo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Homaranismo (roughly: "Humanitarianism" or "Humanitism") is an Esperanto word used by its creator, Ludwig Zamenhof, to describe his philosophy of human interaction and behaviour. Based largely on the teachings of Hillel the Elder, a 1st Century B.C.E. rabbi, Zamenhof originally called this philosophy Hillelism.

Zamenhof first described this philosophy around the year 1900 and published it anonymously in a brochure in 1906. He later published a revised version in 1913 under the name Homaranismo.

His, however, is now a minority view. Many more now agree with last year's bus poster campaign, devised by the British Humanist Association and supported by Richard Dawkins, which proclaimed: 'There is probably no God'.
