Abstract

The journal Anthropology and Humanism explores the human condition and the complexities of being human. In the book "Humanly Possible" by Sarah Bakewell, the author traces the history of humanist thought from ancient times to modern-day thinkers. Bakewell defines humanism as the exploration of human behavior, including both biological and spiritual aspects, as well as cultural patterns. While the book does not extensively cover the contributions of anthropologists to humanist thought, it provides valuable insights into the development of humanism and its relationship to anthropology. The book is accessible and engaging, making it suitable for both lay readers and scholars. [Extracted from the article]
