How Do Human Beings Develop Personal Morality?

What is the place of the individual person in the contemporary world?

What is the meaning of life?

What are the sources of the principles of personal integrity in
common human experience?

The Institute for Science and Human Values (ISHV) was created by secular humanist visionary Paul Kurtz in 2010 to thoughtfully guide our culture with modern humanist values. Kurtz outlined his concrete hopes for a truly humanistic world of individual rights, secular government, and enlightened social and technological progress in ISHV's founding document, the 'Neo-Humanist Statement of Secular Principles and Values." Endorsed by over 100 scientists and other humanist leaders of thought and action, this statement presents a charter for an innovative way forward in the study and application of modern human values on a planetary scale.

Neo-Humanism: New Directions for Humankind

ISHV will enlist the brightest scientists and scholars, in the US and around the world to find out how to better develop the moral virtues that we share as human beings. The Neo-Humanist Statement of Secular Principles and Values which guides this effort has been endorsed by more than 100 leading humanists, including Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker, former Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder, and writer Ann Druyan, wife of the late Carl Sagan. It lays out a positive and constructive vision of humanist morality based on reason.
