What were the main ideas of humanism?

The very concept of humanism is based on the word homo, which means “man”.

Based on this, the main ideas of humanism are that everyone has inalienable rights.

These rights include: the right to life (the most important value), the right to self-determination, the right to satisfy one’s needs.

The concept of humanism originated in the period between the two World Wars.

The ideas of humanism could be found both in Western philosophy and in Marxist teaching.
