231 | Sarah Bakewell on the History of Humanism
Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas
Introduction
Sean Carroll: In my book, The Big Picture, I tried to articulate naturalism. That is the idea that the world is a fundamentally natural thing with no supernatural aspects or anything like that.

She says there's a sort of natural affinity if you don't believe in God for putting human beings at the center of what does matter.
