The Open Door explores humanism and Christian humanism. Our special guest, and we are delighted that he is returning, is Dr. Curtis Hancock. He is Coordinator of the Concentration in the History of Philosophy at Holy Apostles College & Seminary, Cromwell, Connecticut and taught for 32 years at Rockhurst Jesuit University, Kansas City, Missouri. For over a decade he taught for “Great Books Discussions,” an on-line homeschooling program.
The questions on our agenda include:
1. What, historically, is humanism?
2. Who are some of its great figures?
3. What is the relation between humanism and Western Civilization?
4. What, if any, is the relationship between humanism and democracy?
5. Is our university system teaching about the heritage of humanism?
6. Can historical humanism become Christ-centered humanism?
7. St. John Paul II taught that when we lose sight of God we lose sight of man. Are there indications of just this in such phenomena as Marxism, economism, biocentric equalitarianism, gender ideology, and transhumanism?
8. How do we help young people discern what true humanism is?
