Hey all,

The final for my religion course is coming up in a few days, and I thought
you virions might be interested in at least the humanism part of it (and
that you might help me study by divulging your knowledge of some key
figures)

The first part says "you will be expected to write notes..." on some of the
following: (I know it's vague but that's what I have)

Hegel, Feuerbach, Dialectic, Hume, Mill, Russell, Dewey, Kierkegaard,
Absolute, Sartre, Existentialist, Agnostic

Second part: essay question. Here are the two humanism questions, of which
I will probably write one (either that or I'll choose one of the three
Islam questions):

4) "All modern philosophy could be characterized as a revolt against the
systematized, Christian idealism of Hegel." How accurately does this
statement reflect the response of Humanists and Existentialists to the
religious philosophy of Hegel?

5) "The primary concerns of Marx always centered on the spiritual questions
of justice and equity rather than on the practical questions of politics
and economics in which they were embodied" Evaluate and discuss.

Thanks in advance...
