This book comprises a miscellaneous collection of my papers and articles published or submitted for publication in American journals and magazines from 2009 to 2012. This edition also contains my paper on Henry Ford: The Visionary Humanist. It argues that Ford was largely responsible for the consumer society of the 20th century because he reacted against the social darwinist views of Andrew Carnegie which served to perpetuate poverty and class distinctions. The contents are all on the subjects of humanism and religion. Some are revised substantially from their original form. Their arguments follow on from those in my two published books: What is Philosophy? (Dunedin Academic Press, 2008), and The Answers Lie Within Us, (Ashgate Publishing, 1998).
