Perspectives on a New Enlightenment

Perspectives for a New Enlightenment, George Hewson offers readers a clear, engaging, and intellectually generous introduction to thirteen of the most pressing issues facing humanists today. Each chapter distills the essential considerations of its topic-art, democracy, science, First Peoples, economics, and more- providing a solid foundation for informed discussion without oversimplifying the complexity of the questions involved. Designed for both newcomers and seasoned humanists, the book equips readers to think critically and explore further, with every chapter concluding in an annotated bibliography that highlights diverse viewpoints and invites deeper research. This is not a manifesto but a guide: a thoughtful companion for anyone committed to evidence, dialogue, and the ongoing pursuit of human understanding.
