- Eupraxsophy
Eupraxsophy (previously "eupraxophy" but updated) [http://www.secularhumanism.org/index.php?section=library&page=kurtz_24_6] is a nonreligious
life stance or worldview emphasizing the importance of living anethical and exuberant life, and relying onrational methods such aslogic ,observation andscience (rather thanfaith ,mysticism orrevelation ) toward that end. The word "eupraxsophy" was coined byPaul Kurtz , and comes from the Greek words for "good practice and wisdom." Eupraxsophies, like religions, are cosmic in their outlook, but eschew thesupernatural component of religion, avoiding the "transcendental temptation," as Kurtz puts it.External links
