Origins

In 1992 "Humanists of Houston", a chapter of the American Humanist Association, decided at the initiative of Marian Hillar and Robert Finch to publish lectures and seminars that were presented by notable speakers at the meetings of the group, doing so under the general title ''Essays in the Philosophy of Humanism''. With time the scope of the publication was enlarged to include solicited and unsolicited papers from others. In 2005, the American Humanist Association adopted ''Essays in the Philosophy of Humanism'' as its official journal.
