Note to reader:
The titles of the last five (or more) chapters are tentative, and are to be written by others who are thoroughly familiar with the current book and the previously written "textbook," Rational-Ethical Living and the Emergence of ‘Homo Rationalis’: FOR EVERYONE (The Most Important Book), downloadable free along with the current book at the PHILOSOPHY section of humanianity.com, and who identify themselves as Humanian as defined in this book. The date of the book will be updated as new chapters and revisions are added. You can participate in the writing of this book by contacting me with your ideas through the Charlotte Philosophy Discussion Group at Meetup.com, for which I am the Organizer. You do not have to attend meetings or reside in the Charlotte, NC area in order to participate on the message board or to contact me.
