Authors

Abstract
Humanism is a very broad term. It is at the centre of human existence. It
is defined as the love of Man irrespective of his faults, weaknesses and
impulses. It is a concept where human interest, values and dignity are held
dominant. It mainly highlights the activities, achievements, interest of man
rather than giving credit to the supernatural powers. In western world people
focused on this aspect of man very early. Its roots can be traced to the period
of Renaissance. The people started studying, focusing and brooded on the
ancient classics who emphasised things human and of this world as compared with
the supernal and life of the other world. In totality, humanism is doctrine, it
is such a principle which focusses on the achievements, dignity and greatness
of man which proves false the older notion that man was wicked, useless,
underdeveloped and doomed to destruction both in this life and that come. It
forms the base of human civilization which makes human world more meaningful
which is based on dignity, morality, rationality and even happiness.
