There is an urgent need to bring together in a united movement all those who claim to be humanists. The continued fragmentation as humanists, Ethical Culturists, Unitarian-Universalists, Humanistic Jews, secularists, Rationalists and so forth subverts our ability to do what must be done. For all its essential truthfulness to the human condition, humanism lacks a credible sustaining vision for the future and generates scarce excitement in the present, except on the fundamentalist Right. The question is how to build from the insights of Adler, Dewey, Huxley, FROMM and others toward a new and as yet unshaped position. Without philosophy, action is blind; without action, philosophy is helpless. Ethical Humanism has not yet found its suitable conjunction of idea and practice.
