Summary: A Continuous Line
Comment: This anthology stands alone as a thoughtful and thorough retrospective of humanist writings throughout history. It provides an intellectual ancestry for humanists of today, many of whom will have been unaware of the long and distinguished line of great thinkers in every age who reached the same conclusions on the greatest questions we can contemplate.

The best-known humanists are present, including Bertrand Russell, Voltaire, and the rest, but one of the great accomplishments of this volume is the "outing" of humanists whose views on religion have been quietly buried or ignored by the historical record as it reaches most of us --- including such prominent figures as Thomas Jefferson and Mark Twain.

A fascinating read, reflecting solid scholarship and what must have been exhaustive research.
