Although featuring the work of the artist and philosopher, Alexander Curtis, the aim of Reloading Humanism is to go beyond the endeavour of a single individual. Reaching from the heart of the Wachau Valley in Austria, out into the web of life, “Fellows” have been found whose work, taken together, addresses the fundamental question of our age: “Is it possible for us to live happy and fulfilled lives without placing an undue burden on our environment, without exploiting other human beings and without jeopardizing the quality of life of those who come after us?”

Despite the enormity of the task at hand, the answer is „YES!“ with the People page providing an introduction to a wide range of strategies for addressing the problems that we ourselves have brought into being.

This widely spread, all-embracing aspect is balanced by a regional focus on the Wachau Valley in Austria, where three Reloading Humanism humanists live. Introduced in a manner that offers tips to visitors and prompts residents to look again at the things around them, these regional facets often result in something that one might call „applied philosophy“ or „responsible tourism“.

At Reloading Humanism, the purpose of life is seen as being to believe, search and create so as to go beyond ourselves and strive for that which is good and beautiful. Whilst every day of our lives, we must solve problems so as to secure our material well-being and survival, we must also seek for that which endows life with meaning. If we seek, we will find, if we do not seek, we will not find. To this effect, Reloading Humanism distances itself from all forms of dogmatically atheist humanism and has nothing to do with trans-humanism.  In the articulation of this reinvented form of humanism, a series of Reloading Humanism Guides books (see the Books and Music page) as well as the sketched out summary given on the One World Pragmatism page are intended as user-friendly tools and sources of inspiration to help us in the quest for meaning and truth.
