New Humanist

A quarterly magazine of ideas, science and culture, New Humanist brings together expert voices and quality journalism to illuminate our turbulent times. Published since 1885, New Humanist is for anyone who wants to understand the concepts, conflicts and systems shaping our world today – from climate and technology to ideology, fundamentalism and struggles for equality. We produce a beautiful colour magazine once every three months full of long-form features, reportage and reviews – as well as cartoons, columns and a cryptic crossword. 

 

Past and present contributors include Samira Ahmed, Michael Rosen, Jim Al-Khalili, Jonathan Rée, Reni Eddo-Lodge, Mona Eltahawy, Philip Pullman, Kenan Malik, Paul Gilroy, Amartya Sen, Richard Dawkins, AJ Ayer, Robert Graves, Philip Larkin, Somerset Maugham, Philip Larkin, Iris Murdoch, Karl Popper, Bertrand Russell, George Bernard Shaw, AJP Taylor, Bernard Williams and HG Wells.

New Humanist is published by Humanists UK.

Time to Come Together: This edition marks our 140th anniversary, and also an exciting new era for the magazine as we celebrate our merger with the charity Humanists UK. 

In these times of great uncertainty, those of us who are open-minded, curious and compassionate must come together and draw strength from each other. In this issue, we speak to Nick Fish about the volunteer atheist army protecting American freedoms, Ken Worpole writes on children's right to play, and Selma Dabbagh gives us a guide to Palestine's lively literary scene. PLUS:

And in our new "Voices" section, five perspectives on the search for meaning in the modern world.

Subjects: Culture, Politics, Science, Philosophy.
