Humanism is not materialism which is mechanistic, while humanism is organic; not positivism which worships humanity, while humanism holds that humanity is an abstraction having no concrete counterpart in objective reality; not rationalism which worships reason dogmatically, while humanism depends on intelligence and experience and trusts even them only experimentally; and not atheism which is a denial of God, while humanism takes a position of inquiry.
