For humanism also appeals to man as man. It seeks to liberate the universal qualities of human nature from the narrow limitations of blood and soil and class and to create a common language and a common culture in which men can realize their common humanity.

  • -- Christopher Dawson 克里斯多夫·道森

因为人文主义也呼唤人的为人。它寻求把人类本性的普遍品质从血、土和阶级的狭隘限制中解放出来,并创造一种共同的语言和文化,在这种语言和文化中,人们可以实现他们共同的人性。
