"Why Not Humanism?"

In 2007, Joyce Carol Oates, prolific writer and Distinguished Professor of Humanities at Princeton, was chosen Humanist of the Year of the American Humanist Association. When accepting the award, she asked, "Why is humanism not the preeminent belief of humankind?"

Jim Corbett, longtime humanist and active member of Humanists of North Puget Sound, proposes a thoughtful answer to her question.
