What does the term Humanism refer to?

  1. A commitment to human rights

  2. A focus on understanding the human experience

  3. A dedication to scientific discovery

  4. A reverence for the divine and spiritual

The correct answer is: A focus on understanding the human experience

Humanism refers to a philosophical and ethical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, their experiences, and their potential. This includes a focus on understanding and promoting individual and collective human well-being, rather than a dedication to any specific religious or supernatural beliefs. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not encompass the full definition of humanism and instead focus on other specific aspects or beliefs.
