Mourad Wahba

From Philosopedia

Wahba, Mourad (20th Century)

A professor of education at the University of Ain Shams in Cairo, Egypt, Wahba is a Humanist Laureate in the Council for Secular Humanism’s International Academy of Humanists.

In 1994 his essay, “Peace and Progress,” was included in Challenges to the Enlightenment, Essays in Defense of Reason and Science. Prof. Wahba has been chairman of the Afro-Asian Philosophy Association. In 1996 he participated in the Humanist World Congress held in Mexico City.

Creativity, he holds, is the antidote of dogmatism. If the cyber-age leads to a Second Enlightenment, either José Ortega y Gasset’s “mass man” will be involved or civilization as we know it will change for the worse. He signed Humanist Manifesto 2000.
