Humanism – Homo deus

The only source for artistic creation and aesthetic value  is human feeling. If it feels good do it.

Art is anything people think is art and beauty is in the eye of the beholder – Duchamp’s fountain – an important milestone in the modern humanist world.

In a free market the customer is always right.

In education, the students should think for themselves.

Medieval Europe:  Knowledge = Scriptures x Logic;

Scientific Revolution: Empirical Data x Mathematics;

Humanism: Experiences (sensations, emotions, thoughts) x Sensitivity.

You can’t experience something if you don’t have the necessary sensitivity and you cannot develop your sensitivity without undergoing a lot of experiences.

Humanism sees life as a gradual process of inner change – develop your knowledge through a wide variety of intellectual, emotional and physical experiences.

Science and humanism – yang and yin. The yang provides us with power while the yin provides us with meaning and ethical judgements.
