Hamza: Humanism has changed so much over the past 700 years. It's sometimes thought of as being elitist, and confined to a Eurocentric view of culture. But that really is a misrepresentation of what humanism has been about in recent centuries. The more open and all embracing and welcoming humanism is, the happier I am. That's how I'd like to see it.
This week on the Penguin Podcast, Isy Suttie is joined by award-winning author and professor, Sarah Bakewell.
Sarah joins us to discuss her latest work of nonfiction, Humanly Possible: seven hundred years of humanist freethinking, inquiry, and hope
Isy and Sarah also discuss Humanism and religion, finding beauty in the complexity of the world, a brief history of human dissection, and the writing of Michel de Montaigne.
