Question

Compare naturalism and humanism?

Answer 1

It's a funny thing I was just thinking about this. To me naturalism is what exists in the rules of nature survival instincts, the desire to procreate with the most appealing features, and conflict that occurs when when forces of nature meet.  When I think of human nature I don't think of humanism there is no balance in human nature. To me human nature is the needs of survival, the desire to find a significant other or a fling, and the desire to obtain.  Often times this can result in conflict such as people taking advantage of other people, unfaithfulness, and war based on staple or luxury resources.  

Humanism to me is the theory of an ideal in which mankind separates itself from nature. Nature exists in the realm of disparity among individuals while Humanism/Humanity exists in the realm of balance and equality. Communism in theory is the ultimate form of humanity, a society with no government people doing stuff that benefits the whole of society with no personal motives, little or no conflict.  Forces of nature however make the theory a near impossibility since it is based on competition rather than cooperation. There will likely always exist within mankind a desire to obtain and dominate.  

In lay-mans terms we are closer to being wild apes then we are to being the human ideal,
